Application and Admission
The M.Sc.A.C. will only be accepting applications for full-time study at this time. To be eligible for this program, applicants must have completed the equivalent of a four-year degree in Computer Science or a related discipline with a minimum GPA of B+ (77-79%) over the final two years of undergraduate studies. Significant work experience (including co-op placements or internships) is preferred, but not required.2012-2013 Applications are now open. Application deadline is March 16th 2012.
Applications can be submitted online here, and must include a statement of purpose and three letters of support from faculty and/or employers. Applicants must also apply directly to the University through the School of Graduate Studies
in order to obtain an SGS ID required to complete the MScAC application. Applicants whose primary language is not English and who have graduated from a university where the primary language of instruction is not English must achieve a TOEFL score of at least 580 on the paper-based test and 4 on the TWE; 237 on the computer-based test and 4 on the essay writing component; 93/120 on the Internet-based test, and 22/90 on the writing and speaking sections. *When TOEFL scores are required, an MSc.A.C. application is not complete until successful scores have been submitted.
Tuition (for students entering the program in September 2012) for the entire 16-month program is anticipated to be CDN $14,183 for domestic students (Canadian citizens and permanent residents) and CDN $30,164 for international students. We expect, but cannot guarantee, that this will be more than offset by internship salaries.

Information for Prospective Industry Partners
The M.Sc. A.C. offers industry a unique opportunity to engage with an experienced graduate student for an eight month intensive internship working on a significant project that can be developed from inception to completion. A student, an industry partner, and a faculty supervisor work together to determine the hands-on internship project. While the M.Sc. A.C. internship shares most of the benefits of our Professional Experience Year (PEY) program for DCS undergraduates, it also includes the benefit of a long-term internship with a highly trained graduate student as well as engagement with DCS faculty.
The matches between students and industry will be made from December to April, with internships scheduled to begin May 1st. Prospective industry partners interested in accessing the catalogue may contact the Director of the M.Sc.A.C. program for further information.
