Programs Functional Programming Degree in North America?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on finding low-cost universities in Canada or the US that offer Bachelor’s degrees with a focus on functional programming. The inquiry highlights the interest in programs that incorporate functional programming principles, often found within electrical engineering and computer science degrees. While some participants suggest that no universities specialize solely in functional programming at the undergraduate level, they recommend pursuing a standard computer science education, which may include courses on functional programming. The University of Waterloo is mentioned as an example of a school that teaches functional programming early in its curriculum. Tuition costs are noted to be around $5,000 per semester, excluding books. Overall, the consensus leans towards obtaining a comprehensive computer science education rather than seeking a specialized degree in functional programming.

Can you recommend me some low-cost universities in Canada(or US) that specialise in functional programming? I am looking for Bachelor Degrees. I have noticed that many interesting stuff, that I would call functional proramming, are in degrees such as electrical engineering and computer science. A good example is MIT:

Such topics interest me. More Math is just a plus. Is there btw any low-cost universities that follow MIT's curriculum? A low-cost dedgree, that follows the best universities, in North America would be excellent. It should cover functional programming.

MIT isn't all functional programming, functional programming is simply one methodology, they just teach there first course with scheme.

I don't think any school specialize in functional programming to be honest. Maybe at the graduate level you could do research in that area but it will be better for you to get a standard CS education. Most school have a class based on SICP but it just usually isn't the first CS course
 
Waterloo teaches functional first. What you are asking makes no sense.

Tuition is around 5k a semester + books.
 
TL;DR Summary: I want to do a PhD in applied math but I hate group theory, is this a big problem? Hello, I am a second-year math and physics double major with a minor in data science. I just finished group theory (today actually), and it was my least favorite class in all of university so far. It doesn't interest me, and I am also very bad at it compared to other math courses I have done. The other courses I have done are calculus I-III, ODEs, Linear Algebra, and Prob/Stats. Is it a...
Yesterday, 9/5/2025, when I was surfing, I found an article The Schwarzschild solution contains three problems, which can be easily solved - Journal of King Saud University - Science ABUNDANCE ESTIMATION IN AN ARID ENVIRONMENT https://jksus.org/the-schwarzschild-solution-contains-three-problems-which-can-be-easily-solved/ that has the derivation of a line element as a corrected version of the Schwarzschild solution to Einstein’s field equation.
