Good! This is, IMO, the best approach to degree programs. People could study what interests them without mountains of debt when leaving school.
>Per-term fees differ by faculty, with arts and mathematics (not inluding CS) being almost the same, CS being much higher
Interesting. I've always heard that a proper computer science curriculum is almost indistinguishable from an applied mathematics curriculum, and that it's in computer engineering/programming/applied computer science/(yadda yadda) that the real bacon is made.
Of course, I've never taken classes in a true CS curriculum, so I really can't say.
- jarek 15y agoI may be slightly embittered towards my school, but I think the difference has more to do with what they are allowed to charge than with actual curriculum differences. Here are the actual amounts, FWIW: http://www.adm.uwaterloo.ca/infofin/students/UG%20Schedule%20of%20Fees%20Current.pdf http://www.adm.uwaterloo.ca/infofin/students/UG%20Schedule%2...
