 Program Overview  study in america

The Master of Science (MSc) program in the Department of Computer Science at Bishop's University focuses on excellence in research. The Department supports the pursuit of knowledge in a warm and friendly academic atmosphere.
   Students in the MSc program are normally required to complete four one-term 500-level courses, registration and participation in the Graduate Seminar, and a master's thesis. Students choose courses for the degree in consultation with their supervisor. A minimum of 65% should be attained in all primary courses prescribed for a student's approved program. Failure to attain a minimum of 65% in any of the primary courses may result in the student being required to withdraw from the program.
   Possible graduate courses include digital topology and mathematical morphology, automata theory and computational complexity, parallel models and algorithms, pattern recognition, model-based testing of reactive systems, mathematical models in image processing, image analysis, computer networks and distributed algorithms, concurrent and real-time systems, volumetric image analysis and visualization, and database software design.

 Admissions  study in america

The minimum requirements for admittance to the Master's program are an undergraduate degree with a major in Computing Science or equivalent, and a high upper-second class standing. In addition to academic performance, factors such as availability of faculty member supervisors and overall candidate performance are taken into consideration.
   Candidates with high academic standing in an undergraduate degree other than computer science, who have some computer science background either academic or professional, may be admitted as graduate preparatory students. Preparatory students will be asked to complete up to one year of undergraduate courses to enhance their background.
   Applications are accepted on a rolling basis; however, students are advised to apply 7 months in advance of their intended start date.
