Computing and Financial Management

About

Set yourself apart in a competitive marketplace

Develop the know-how, networks, and experience to land a career in computer science or finance – or both. Combine your interdisciplinary studies with six co-op work terms in areas such as software development, banking, investments, risk management, or insurance to set yourself apart in a competitive marketplace.

You'll gain expertise in two majors (computer science and finance) and become a valuable asset to any technology-dependent organization – especially in the ever-evolving financial technology industry.

As part of Computing and Financial Management (CFM), you'll study in two of Waterloo's powerhouse institutions: the School of Accounting and Finance, where you'll learn to understand sophisticated concepts of modern financial management, and the David R. Cheriton School of Computer Science, where you'll acquire the skills to develop and maintain financial software.

By the time you graduate, you'll be armed with the know-how, the networks, and the co-op experience to land a career in computer science or finance – or both.

Build an awesome rأ©sumأ©. Because you'll be alternating between classroom learning and co-op work terms, you'll gain two full years of work experience and graduate with an impressive rأ©sumأ©.
Add more credentials. Aiming to work in in the investment industry? A CFM degree provides a direct route to a Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) designation.

How to Apply

If you plan to be a full-time Waterloo student, you'll apply through the Ontario Universities' Application Centre (OUAC), which handles applications to each of Ontario's universities.

Applying through the OUAC means that you'll apply and/or submit grades to the OUAC instead of multiple Ontario universities. OUAC will send your information to each Ontario university you apply to.

Ontario high school students

If you're currently registered in an Ontario high school, you'll apply using the OUAC 101 application and your high school will send your grade information to us.

All other students

You'll use the OUAC 105 application for full-time studies and you'll need to arrange for your transcripts to be sent to us.

If you're interested in part-time or online studies, there is a separate application process.

Be sure to apply by the application deadline (February 1 for most programs).

Within two weeks of receiving your application from the OUAC, we'll email you with your Waterloo student number and any actions you might need to take.

Tips

We recommend adding [email protected] to your contacts to ensure you receive our emails.
