The new Master of Computer Science: Non-Thesis Pathway* at Carleton offers flexible options, allowing students to choose between coursework-only OR a combination of coursework and a graduate project.
This 5.0 credit program requires students to complete the following:
*Important
- Thesis students with funding who wish to switch to the Non-Thesis pathway may lose all or part of their funding.
- Non-Thesis pathway students seeking to do the coursework and graduate project option, should not begin working on their graduate project until they have found a supervisor. Additionally, registration in COMP 5903 (Graduate Project) will not be permitted until the student can prove they have secured a supervisor. Continuous registration in COMP 5903 is required until the graduate project is completed. This includes registration in the summer term.
- Non-Thesis, coursework-only pathway students do not require a supervisor.
- This program pathway will be viewable in the 2025-26 Graduate Calendar, which will be released in early May 2025.
