CSCI course numbers group related courses using a digit in the course number.  It is the 鈥渉undreds鈥� digit in graduate courses:  the position of the topic T digit in CSCI 5Txx and CSCI 6Txx.

The subject groupings occur as follows, relating to the T digit:

• 0 鈥� generally accessible or broad CS topics
• 1 鈥� theory, algorithms, data structures, and math-like topics
• 2 鈥� computer organization and architecture, operating systems, platforms
• 3 鈥揹evelopment of software like software engineering, programming languages, architectures, and frameworks
• 4 鈥� data management, databases, big data, and data-centred topics
• 5 鈥� artificial intelligence and machine learning
• 6 鈥� human computer interaction, graphics, and visualization topics
• 7 鈥� computer networks, network security topics, web and mobile development
• 8 鈥� cross-Faculty courses, notably bioinformatics
• 9 鈥� unclassified topics, including administrative courses

Students wishing to transfer from the MACS to MCS program need a minimum average grade of A- for at least four CSCI graduate courses (excluding CSCI 6901 Direct Studies and CSCI5100 Communication Skills), and two recommendation letters from CS faculty. The four CSCI graduate classes can be a combination of CSCI5xxx and CSCI6xxx level classes (note the exclusions). A formal application should then be submitted to the FCS Graduate Office, including 1) a letter of request for transferring from MACS to MCS signed by both the student and the supervisor, 2) a copy of the transcript, 3) the two recommendation letters. 

Once submitted, your application & background will then be considered.

Students wishing to transfer from the Master of Computer Science to the Master of Applied Computer Science program will be evaluated on an individual basis.

The decision will be made based on both the suitability of the student for the MACS program, as well as the capacity within the program.

No. Course audits are only allowed for MACS students if they are approved by MACS administration prior to the audit.

If MACS students take courses on audit, without prior approval, they will be charged an additional fee for the course.

The condition for scheduling a thesis defence is that the supervisor has read the first draft of the thesis, approved the core chapters of the thesis and made recommendations for a refined draft. The timeline for a final supervisor approved version before submitting to the Defence Committee should be based on the agreement of both the supervisor and the student, it is recommended to have two weeks for the supervisor to read and provide recommendations, and two weeks for the student to make changes for submitting to the Defence Committee.
