    From a young age, Julia was fascinated by the world of math

    so when it came time to choosing an area of study, she knew

    that she wanted to pursue mathematics but wasnt sure

    which program would be right for her. Discussing her options

    with her family, her dad, an alumnus of the BMath ComputerScience program at Waterloo, suggested that she consider

    Computer Science. My dad used to show me how to take

    apart the computer when I was little so I was always exposed

    to the idea. As I really liked math growing up, I decided to

    enroll in the program. With a global exchange to Sweden in

    the works, Julia is hoping to take her studies internationally

    as she considers pursuing graduate studies in Europe.

    I really liked math growingup so I decided to enrollin Computer Science.JULIA, 4TH YEAR BCS STUDENT

    developFrom designing intelligent software to treat patients with Alzheimers

    to creating captivating special effects for movies, computer science

    explores the practical and theoretical limits of computation and solves

    huge problems for modern society. Imagine a world without the

    trillions of computations carried out every day by the computers that

    surround us. Social media, texting, and Internet searches are just

    a few things that are all made possible thanks to computer science.

    You choose between the BCS and BMath/CS after your first year.

    Customize your degree

    Design your own program by choosing a variety of areas that interest you.

    Gain more in-depth knowledge in one of our pre-tailored options below.

    BIOINFORMATICS OPTIONInterested in learning how to solve important

    biological problems? With the bioinformatics option, youll apply large-

    scale computation and analysis to biological data (see page 6).

    BUSINESS OPTIONGain leadership knowledge with courses in accounting,

    business, communications, economics, and management sciences.

    Or enhance your business knowledge with a full degree in business

    (see page 4) or in finance and accounting (see page 5).

    Using computer science and statistics,

    Henry received his co-op acknowledgement

    by designing software to generate player

    statistics in baseball allowing coaches and

    scouts of Major League Baseball teamsto create all-star line ups and help with

    pre-game analysis. Of the private clients

    BRYAN, 3RD YEAR BBA/BCS STUDENT

    Creativity. Leadership. Idea-building. These were the keys

    to Bryans most recent success as a co-op student for

    California-based tech-giant LinkedIn. Working as a Software

    Engineering Intern, Bryan went beyond his job scope by

    working with 5 other Waterloo co-op students to develop

    a new app called EatIn which alerts staff when a dishcontains one of their allergens and allows them to rate their

    latest meal. Using the tools of LinkedIns Incubator program,

    Bryan and his team turned their knowledge of business

    and computer science into a 6-week project. We got to

    participate in the Incubator program. The program provides

    up to 3 months of dedicated time to grow our ideas. We

    pitched our project to LinkedIns senior executives and they

    approved it. Having returned to campus for another study

    term, Bryan hopes that others will contribute to his project

    that is now open sourced.

    With this exclusively co-op program youll get both a full honours

    computer science degree (BCS) from Waterloo and a full honours

    business administration degree (BBA) from Wilfrid Laurier University.

    Zaven always dreamed of helping others

    through medicine, but he also believed

    in being at the forefront of technology.

    Studying in the Bioinformatics program

    allowed him to do both. I define

    success as being able to make

    an impact and a difference.

    After being inspired by his co-op terms

    at the University Health Network,

    Google, and Facebook, Zaven has seen

    first-hand the impact that science and

    technology can have on our lives. He

    wants to be a top-notch professional,

    and hes ready to leave his mark.

    Thats why he chose Waterloo.

    Be in demandAs computers are used increasingly to solve biological problems, the demand for

    bioinformatics professionals is rapidly growing. This area will be a source of limitless,

    world-changing discoveries.

    What is Bioinformatics?

    A cross between biology and information technology, Bioinformatics is helping to

    revolutionize how scientific research is conducted in both industry and academic

    centres. This interdisciplinary science applies the latest developments in computer

    science to a wealth of new biological data. The result? World-changing achievements

    like the mapping of the human DNA sequence, a result of the Human Genome Project.

    What you get out of the program

    The Cheriton School of Computer Science and the Department of Biology jointly

    prepare you to excel in this emerging field by giving you a sophisticated understanding

    of biology and the appropriate tools in computer science. Learn how to solve important

    biological problems, study the interactions of small molecules with biological receptors,

    and search for novel therapies for disease. In your first year youll be admitted toHonours Bioinformatics. You can choose to focus your studies by majoring in biology

    and bioinformatics (BSc) or in computer science with a bioinformatics option (BCS).

    ELISA, 4TH YEAR BSE

    Elisa, a fourth-year Software Engineering student, was looking for a challenging academic

    environment and access to real world work opportunities when she chose Waterloo. With a keen

    interest in both computer science and software, Waterloo was immediately her top and only choice

    because of the schools excellent reputation and renowned co-op program. Through her co-op

    terms, Elisa gained valuable work experience in the software industry, both in Canada and abroad.

    For her second work term, Elisa spent a memorable four months in San Francisco, where she learned

    to adapt to a brand new environment. It was a great learning experience. It was a different type

    of living and the work I did on co-op was really rewarding.

    Outside of the classroom, Elisa maintains a blog where she writes about her life, school, and work.

    Many of her blog posts contain helpful information and tips for future Software Engineering students.

    The goal for her blog is to offer advice to other students who are interested in entering the field.

    What is Software Engineering?

    Software engineering applies computer science and engineering principles and practices

    to design, create, and maintain computer software. In a world where new technologies

    are developed every minute, software engineers are in demand for their ability to make

    software more affordable, faster to build, and easier to maintain.

    What you get out of the programYoull instantly experience the benefits of Waterloos program that combines the universitys

    strengths in computer science and computer engineering. Through project-intensive classes

    and co-op, youll learn to develop complex software systems that ensure the reliability,

    performance, and usability demanded by todays industrial and business applications.

    Youll gain skills in communication, business, and reasoning. Youll also benefit from
