Studies in these fields generally follow one or more of these stages:

(i) pinpointing a compelling issue,
(ii) classifying the problem based on its complexity level, and
(iii) developing an optimal solution approach.

The objective is to create algorithms with specific efficiency benchmarks. This encompasses exact polynomial-time methods, enhanced exponential-time solutions, approximation techniques, and probabilistic performance algorithms. Frequently, a deep theoretical grasp of a problem's framework proves crucial for crafting such solutions. When facing a potentially difficult original problem, the aim becomes identifying the dividing line between tractable specific instances and challenging general scenarios.

Qualification Requirements

A 3.0 GPA is typically the minimum GPA for acceptance in an MSc or PhD program. However, we may consider slightly lower GPAs in exceptional circumstances or due to small discrepancies in international GPA conversion rates. Meeting the 3.0 GPA minimum requirement does not guarantee admission. Our department admissions process is highly competitive and the Admissions Committee often selects students with a 3.5 GPA or higher.
Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL iBT, in-person or special at-home edition) - A minimum TOEFL score of 100 with a minimum score of 21 on each of the individual skill areas (internet-based), or equivalent, Academic International English Language Testing System IELTS - Academic - A minimum overall band score of 7.0 with a minimum score of 6.5 on each band. Canadian Academic English Language Assessment (either CAEL [paper] or CAEL CE [computer]) - A minimum overall score of 70 on the CAEL with at least 60 on each subtest.
