The top five computer science programs across Canada, as ranked by

Maclean's, remain the same in 2020. We do see a bit of movement

— Concordia has made it into the top ten, and the University of New
Brunswick the top 20 — but much like the programs themselves,
these rankings are competitive.

Maclean's rankings are based on the program's reputation, research

reputation, and a measure of the program's publications and citations.
