About the course

The M.S. in Computer Science degree program prepares graduates for careers in a wide variety of areas in the application of computer science to science, engineering, industry, and business. The thesis option of the program is particularly appropriate for preparing graduates to subsequently enter doctoral programs of study. Computer scientists develop complex software and computer systems that are central to contemporary science, engineering, industry, and business. The M.S. in Computer Science enables students to either enter the computer science workforce or continue on to a doctoral program of study. Individual and team-based assignments will enable students to build mastery of important computer science skills and their practical applications in areas that include computer networks, computer graphics and visualization, high-performance computing, cybersecurity, machine learning and data science, software engineering, software design and architecture, and software validation and verification. In addition, you will have the opportunity to engage in critical application areas of computer science in areas that include biology, ecology, and astronomy.
