New name for COSC Department
The name change of our department has been officially approved by the
University Council. The official name is now "Computer Science
and Software Engineering". Note that this does not
mean that our course codes (COSC) or major ("Computer
Science") will change. However, we are making plans to introduce
software engineering (SE) as a major in the long run and the name
change reflects this intention.
