BA in Computer Science in Antigonish Canada | St. Francis Xavier University

Computer Science (CS) explores the principles of computation. When addressing any problem, a key consideration is whether a computational solution exists and, if so, identifying the most effective and feasible methods to execute it. The field also tackles profound questions that could reshape our understanding of reality. Can artificial intelligence truly replicate human cognition? How can we structure worldly knowledge to enhance decision-making?
