About the course

Computer Science is a key enabler for innovation and discovery in most fields. It encompasses both theory and practice, theoretical ideas about how information is represented and processed, and practical techniques for creating new software. The School offers computer science degree options including Honours, major, minor, specialization in video game programming, and co-operative education. Mathematical and computational sciences are experiencing a ?boom?. Everyone is collecting data, and they need people with the skills to manage, analyze, and extract useful information from the data. This is what mathematicians, statisticians, and computer scientists are trained to do. Employment prospects are among the highest of any field, and Honours graduates are well positioned to pursue graduate studies.

　　The UPEI Co-op Program is an integrated approach to university education which enables students to alternate academic terms on campus with work terms in suitable employment. The success of such programs is founded on the principle that students are able to apply theoretical knowledge from course studies in the workplace and return to the classroom with practical workplace experience. Students who successfully complete all the requirements of the program will have the notation entered on their transcripts and on the graduation parchment. Students accepted into the program complete at least three paid work terms of normally 14 weeks duration, and three professional development courses. Credits earned through completion of work terms are counted as general electives. The Co-op option is available to full-time students in any MCS Major or Honours program. Applications to the Co-op Education Program are normally made after completion of the first year of study. MCS students must complete 126 semester hours of credit in order to graduate with the Co-op designation. Scholarships - View all scholarships Internships
