MSc in Computer Science
The Department of Computer Science offers programs of study involving interdepartmental, multi-institutional and inter-institutional collaboration that has attracted faculty members and graduate students from all over the world. Students may pursue full-time or part-time graduate study leading towards the MSc and PhD degrees.
The MSc and PhD degrees in Computer Science focus on four main areas of research: artificial intelligence; databases and information retrieval; graphics, image and audio processing; multimedia, and software engineering. Specifically, active research topics conducted by faculty members include, but are not limited to:
- Data mining, knowledge discovery and machine learning, Bayesian networks, rough set theory, uncertainty management, quantitative and temporal reasoning
- Graphical modeling and rendering algorithms, animation, image and signal processing, facial recognition, computational music and audio, information visualization, human computer interaction
- Information retrieval, cognitive informatics, Web intelligence and service, electronic commerce, database theory, and information theory and its applications in communications
- Language-based software security, data security, agent-oriented software engineering, software reuse, formal methods, and distance education
- Algorithm design and analysis, theory of computing, computational geometry, graph theory
The Department of Computer Science maintains several research laboratories: Animation Software Design, Artificial Intelligence, Graphics, Intelligent Database System, Interactive Media, Computational Discovery, Multimedia Gaming, Open Systems, Rough Computing, Rough Music and Audio Digital Interactive (aRMADILo), Saskatchewan Research Network Digital Media, Software Engineering, and Web Intelligence. Both the TR and New Media Studio laboratories result from collaborative research with various partners from industry, university, and government.

Admission Requirement / Eligibility Criteria
A graduating average of at least 70 percent from a four-year baccalaureate degree (or equivalent) is required for admission to all programs except for English, History, Mathematics and Statistics, and the Master of Public Administration where the required average is 75 percent.
Applicants with a marginally lower four-year average may be accepted if their performance in the last two complete years is significantly higher (75 percent or more).
Applicants must have the academic background required to undertake graduate studies in their chosen field. Applicants who fail to meet this requirement but who otherwise meet the criteria may be admitted; however, background deficiencies must be addressed by taking appropriate courses either prior to or in parallel with graduate work.
