Summary

The Computer Science (CS) program educates students to become world-class researchers and thought leaders in the field of computer science. The program is designed to prepare students for a career in academia, industrial research or advanced positions in industry.

The program offers two degrees: the Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) degree and the Master of Science (M.Sc.) degree. The M.Sc. degree can be obtained by taking courses only or by a combination of courses and writing a thesis. Students who are interested in a research career are encouraged to apply directly to the Ph.D. program. A master’s degree is not a pre-requisite to enroll in the Ph.D. program.

Students who complete the Ph.D. degree will have demonstrated original research that is published in world-class prestigious conferences, journals and other research forums. This degree is appropriate for those who want to pursue a career in research either in academia or industry. Students who complete the M.Sc. degree by taking courses and writing a thesis will have demonstrated ability to perform directed research and complete a research project. This degree is appropriate for students who wish to pursue a Ph.D. degree later.

Students who complete the M.Sc. degree by taking only courses will have demonstrated strong performance in graduate-level courses that prepares students for careers of advanced research and development in industry.
