Professional Programs
The department of Computer Science offers two full-time professional master's programs in the areas of Data Science and Human-Centred Computing. Our programs provide in-depth experience and instruction into these dynamic and cutting-edge disciplines.
Take your skills to the next level and advance your career with one of these focused programs. With the flexibility to have your first semester online, and with course offerings pre-planned for each program you will be able to choose the pathway to the next stage of your career.
Both programs have been created to follow a carefully considered academic curriculum, which starts with fundamental and foundational courses, progresses into topically-relevant courses, and concludes with a seminar and capstone project course.
Data Science ProgramStudents studying the Data Science program will learn about the importance of data-focused programming, along with foundational concepts in the data science lifecycle, statistics, and machine learning. Advanced topics related to applied machine learning, big data analytics, cloud computing, and methods for communicating about data science projects will be covered. The program will conclude with a professionally focused seminar series and a capstone project. The application deadline for the Data Science Program is in February of every year. Apply now! |
Human-Centred Computing ProgramStudents in the Human-Centred Computing program will learn about human-computer interaction theories and principles, methods for the design and implementation of software interfaces, and techniques for evaluating such software with human subjects. Advanced topics related to computer graphics, animation, mobile computing, virtual and augmented reality, and information visualization will be covered. The program will conclude with a professionally focused seminar series and a capstone project. The application deadline for the Human-Centred Computing Program is in June of every year. Apply now! |
