Bachelor of Science in Computer Science
Computer Science (CS) is the study of computation. For any given problem, a central question is whether a solution can be computed, and, if so, what are the most efficient and practical ways to carry out the computation. Computer science also involves questions that have the potential to change how we view the world. What is the nature of intelligence and can we reproduce it in a machine? How do we represent the knowledge we have about the world and apply this knowledge to help make better decisions?
In Computer Science at StFX, students are offered a well-rounded education in the scientific foundations of information and computation together with practical techniques for the implementation of these foundations, applicable to almost every facet of life, through an intensive, hands-on approach. You will learn about new technologies and ideas, laying the foundation for various computing careers. At one of Canada’s top undergraduate universities, you’ll get to work closely with faculty members and participate in exciting research projects.
