This program offers an exciting opportunity
for students to earn a Masters degree while
gaining experience working and researching
in industry. Students will take courses that
will both prepare them for a work internship
and help them write a MSc thesis. Students
may also spend up to eight months at a
work internship gaining valuable experience
in industry. They will then return to Acadia to
complete a thesis, usually to be based on
the research they completed during their
internship.

What makes this program so exciting for
prospective students is the wide range of
research that faculty at Acadia pursue. In
our department, you can pursue research
into a game of cops and robbers,  unbreakable codes, tidal energy in the Bay of Fundy, fractal images, improving medicines, job scheduling, statistical learning and big data, and an optical computer.

Associated with the department is Acadia’s Centre for Mathematical Modelling and Computation (ACMMaC). The focus of ACMMaC is to apply mathematical and statistical models to problems in other fields, industry and the community. Graduate students in our program will have access to ACMMaC resources have the opportunity to become active participants in high-performance computing research.

A HPC cluster and several connected servers support computing needs within the department and in related departments across campus. Acadia is also a member of the ACEnet HPC consortium.
