Student review [#92304] for Computer Science
at University of Calgary

The Computer Science program at the University of Calgary feels very average. The department is oversaturated with students, which makes classes crowded and reduces the quality of interaction with instructors. Many professors seem outdated in their teaching methods, and some are frankly not very good at communicating concepts effectively.

While the program does cover the basics and you can still graduate with a solid technical foundation, expect yourself to do the majority of the heavy lifting through self-studying. Overall, I’d say UCalgary CS is fine if you just want the degree, but if you’re looking for innovative teaching, you’ll likely be disappointed.
