Master of Applied Computing (MAC) - Thesis Option in Waterloo Canada | Wilfrid Laurier University

As technology grows increasingly advanced, the expertise needed in computing careers evolves as well. Laurier's Master of Applied Computing (MAC) provides an advanced computing education, combining theoretical understanding with hands-on experience in mobile computing, enterprise systems, data mining, and machine learning.
The MAC program distinguishes you in the competitive job market, demonstrating to employers your mastery of cutting-edge technical concepts and your ability to develop innovative technological solutions.

We foster a "dream it, build it" approach where classroom theory transforms into real-world applications through projects or co-op placements. While traditional computing master's graduates often possess deep technical knowledge but limited practical experience, our program bridges that gap. By incorporating case studies, project-driven coursework, and co-op opportunities, the MAC equips you with practical competencies that theory-centric programs simply cannot match.
