Computing is no longer restricted to science, engineering and business. It appears everywhere and in many roles. It is now so broad a field that students can only master part of it in a four year degree program. Some students prefer the complex technical details that form the foundation of computing, others prefer the challenges that occur at the interface between people and computers. Many want to use computers to amplify their talents in different disciplines, from anthropology to film to medicine to zoology.
By studying computing science at the University of Alberta, you acquire technical knowledge and problem-solving skills to create innovative solutions for a wide range of challenges.
