是啊！不过听说几家名气小一点的学校收非本专业的计算机研究生，可是有什么意思哪？另外，国外的计算机教育水平不低，你学了研究生就能真的“研究”吗？还是一切以就业市场为准。如果你是…… -jerryzh(jerryzh); 2000-7-17 {186} (#3328@0)
那种真的想干点事业的，交叉学科，高学历，高语言水平，都会有帮助，但是太累。不过中国人在北美闯事业，谁不觉得难哪？？具体如何，还有待你到了加拿大之后用自己的眼光来观察和判断，祝你好运！！！

Why not? Think about this, if you could get a better job easier in the future, bachelor of good universities is quite helpful, especially your major is in computer. It's really worth. -lumlumq(lumlum); 2000-7-17 (#3414@0)

I think it is good for me to get a bachelor's degree in computer first, because it may be very difficult to get a marst if I have not the background of the Bsc -alan731(笨鸟); 2000-7-24 (#4033@0)

问题是现在申请本科的人也不少，所以非计算机专业想念计算机研究生太难，原来在国内读计算机专业的想念研究生都很难报的人太多。 -guest:能念本科就不错了; 2000-7-24 (#4046@0)

Most CS master programs in Canada are thesis-based, which means they are looking for someone who is capable to do research in CS field. So normally they offer financial aid.With your background, it might be hard -ycc(carol); 2000-7-28 (#4429@0)
And if you go for bachelor's degree, you pay the tuition, that's why it's easier to get admitted than master's program. BTW, without the cs background, you will have a hard time to deal with the master courses -ycc(carol); 2000-7-28 (#4431@0)
