Computer Science at Mac not accredited?
It doesn't seem to be listed on http://www.cips.ca/ComputerScience. Does anyone know why? |

Because it isn't accredited as far as I'm aware (I'm in second year Comp. Sci.).
Not sure the reason for that really, perhaps it's too small a program? Only 50 people per year. Might be a good question for one of your Comp Sci profs.

I think that is the reason why it isn't accredited, because there are barely any graduates from Mac in that program. 
I'm assuming Business Informatics isn't also accredited? |

Business Informatics is most definitely not accredited, as far as I know Mac is actually the only university in Canada that offers a degree in Business Informatics. It's very popular in Europe but it is just making it's way over here.
There are only 6 people going into second year Business Informatics this year so that should give you an idea about how small it is. |

I was seeing Sally Williams and I asked out of curiosity, she told me there were 6 people in Business Informatics Level II, so nice to meet you! Of course she could have meant 6 other people, but 6, 7, what's the difference lol.

I'm actually not sure, but if I was to guess I'd say around 50 or 60. |
