Program Overview

The Master of Applied Computer Science (MACS) program is a 16-month graduate degree that prepares you for a dynamic career in the software industry by developing strong technical skills with core courses in systems, communications, and data management.

Students in the research project stream have the opportunity to work in research labs in one of our four main research areas at the forefront of technical innovation.

Work hand in hand with other masters, PhD, and post-doctoral students and faculty members to complete a project that will provide a useful demonstration of a novel capability using existing technology. Projects may also survey an area that has high tutorial value.

This project stream is intended for students with an undergraduate degree in computer science. Up to three additional undergraduate courses, to be taken in the first two terms in the program, may be required to fill particular gaps in the student's background.

Students in this program are also able to complete graduate certificates which recognize specialized knowledge:

Graduate Certificate in Cloud Data Analytics
Graduate Certificate in Foundations of Applied Data Based Computing
Graduate Certificate in Web and Mobile Computing
