If you are going to take 4 years to get a degree, what are the reasons you would do it at SAIT vs UofC?

I am a CPSC Major at UofC , so I obviously don't know about the SAIT program in detail, mostly second hand knowledge and stuff I learned while I was investigating both schools. For me it seemed like a no-brainer, but that may have been due to my situation and the goals I have for myself when I am done school.

Now, while in my 3rd year, I really can't imagine being able to truly excel without the Math and Theory training I am receiving. If SAIT is cutting it out of thier program that just handcuffs their grads beyond as far as I am concerned...

Of course, as was mentioned, a 2 year degree will qualify you to be a 'code monkey' at an entry level for most coding shops.
