Does the CSci program prepare me for Graduate School?
CSci professors are involved in a wide range of research projects. All professors are funded either by the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada or industry. Additional funding is obtained form the St.F.X. University Research Council and from Human Resources Development of Canada (Summer Career Placement). In 2004, 6 computer science students were hired by the CSci faculty. This provides students with an opportunity to get hand-on experience in research. All recent graduates going to graduate school were supported either by NSERC, entrance scholarships, or research and teaching assistantships (valued at least $15,000 per year). Acceptance rates have been high, denoting proper prepartion.
