Accredited by the Computer Science Accreditation Council of the Canadian Information Processing Society, Ryerson's Computer Science program produces students who can work effectively as software practitioners in the wide variety of professional areas in industry. Students are trained to be multilingual in the programming areas that are currently in demand and are given a practical treatment of both systems programming and applications programming. Students get a lot of exposure to: Networked environments, Web-based applications, Client-server applications, Database design, Software Engineering and Compiler design.
Computer Science includes the following areas of study:
Java, C ++ and other in-demand programming languages
The design of algorithms, programming skills and the object-oriented paradigm
Data structures, artificial intelligence, operating systems, and software/hardware interfaces through physics and computer science courses
Database systems, data communications, parsing, computer security and comparative programming languages
First & second year courses include:

The co-op experience includes five, four-month work terms in organizations in Ontario, Canada, and potentially abroad. To get the co-op designation students must successfully complete four of the five work terms. The first work term begins in the summer following 2nd year studies.
Computer Science co-op students find work in a variety of roles such as product & technical support, software development, and testing/quality assurance in government and utilities, software development companies, banks & financial institutions, and industry.
Co-op students should be open to relocating to improve their chances of finding work, as good job opportunities are often available in cities outside the greater Toronto area.
