A major in Computing was introduced into the Applied Science degree in 1984. The incorporation of the Bachelor of Computing as the first degree controlled solely within the department in 1990 saw a change of name to Mathematics and Computing. University restructure in 1995 resulted in the formation of the School of Information Technology and Mathematical Sciences. The evolution of names reflects the gradual change in emphasis of the School from solely mathematics to a much broader focus on computing supported by mathematics and applied statistics. The current School teaching focus is on the delivery of innovative programs in Information Technology, Computing and Applied Statistics, as well as the delivery of mathematics, statistics and computing studies across the University. The research emphasis is on informatics and applied optimization.

    University Fair FAQ for Computer Science

    University Fair FAQ for Computer Science Note: Much of this material is taken from the website for prospective CS students, http://www.cs.uwaterloo.ca/undergrad/prospective/index.shtml. Getting Admitted into CS 1. How high do my marks need to be? Answer: The short answer is that admitted students usually have marks in the low- to mid-80’s or higher. The longer answer is that the Mathematics Faculty pays particular attention to the Applicant Information Form (AIF). Recommendations by teachers, extracurricular activities, and participation in Waterloo math competitions can all increase your chances of admission. Admission cut-offs may vary for different programs. 2. Do I need to be really good in Math to get admitted? Answer: The School of Computer Science is housed within the Faculty of Mathematics, and, therefore, a strong performance in high school mathematics is expected. Students admitted into the Faculty (into CS or other programs) will generally have high school math averages of approximately 80% and above. 3. Do I need CS in high school to get into UW/CS? Answer: Students applying to CS must have the same courses as students applying to most other Math faculty programs. CS is not a required from high school. CS offers several different courses for incoming students depending on their backgrounds. 4. Can I succeed in UW/CS even if I haven’t taken CS in high school? Answer: Yes. The different entry courses are designed to assist students with varying backgrounds to have a similar base to work from by the end of first year.
