SFU MPCS录取后改program title的是不是独此一家？

SFU MPCS 的改名政策会波及到23 Fall申请者。

对所有Simon Fraser University 23 Fall MPCS Big Data的申请者，哪怕你已经拿到offer，offer letter上写的title是MPCS，毕业时的title也会被改成Master of Science in Big Data。以下是官方邮件原文。

We would like to inform you that the program name change stated in the MPCS Admissions Handbook for Fall 2023 has been approved. The Master of Science in Professional Computer Science will change to the Master of Science in Big Data in Fall 2023. All students starting in Fall 2023 will be awarded the degree Master of Science in Big Data upon completion of the program.

If you have accepted the offer to the Master of Science in Professional Computer Science but decide you no longer want to attend the program because of the name change, please email bigdata@sfu.ca using the email address associated with your application and we will cancel your acceptance and refund your admission deposit.

交了占位费的，如果因为改名不去了，会给一段时间考虑可以decline offer，会退deposit。

补充内容 (2023-05-02 01:42 +8:00):
向学校抗议可以争取一周的时间来决定要不要退占位费，
至于title是铁定要变了，板上钉钉，抗议无效

想问下，这个改成big data的影响主要是什么？

原来的title是MSc in Professional Computer Science
改名后的title是MSc in Big Data
22 Fall的学生不受影响，23 Fall的学生会受影响，尽管23 Fall学生申请时的title还是前者
title里没有了CS，找sde工title认可度可能会受影响

打算退押金了
