The Jodrey School of Computer Science has been a strong leader in Computer Science in Nova Scotia, starting as a degree-offering department in 1970 and converting to a School of Computer Science and offering a Bachelor of Computer Science degree in 1980. Research has always been at the forefront at the Jodrey School of Computer Science. Research in the early 1980s resulted in the creation of Prograph – a visual dataflow language. Later research resulted in one of the first full Web Census – a complete mapping of web servers on the internet. The Jodrey School of Computer Science entered into the area of Data Analytics with the creation of the Acadia Institute of Data Analytics (AIDA) in 2013, and has a strong presence in the Data Analytics, Machine Learning, and Artificial Intelligence fields. The partnership between the Acadia Entrepreneurship Centre and AIDA has students applying data-driven solutions to real-world challenges. Today, small class sizes and a collaborative learning environment continue to foster innovation and meaningful student-faculty engagement.
