About the course

The Department of Computer Science offers graduate study leading to the degree of Master of Science in Computer Science. This program is designed to extend the student?s knowledge in a broad manner beyond the baccalaureate degree major in Computer Science. It will both (1) deepen general understanding of theoretical principles and (2) provide exposure to important applications of Computer Science such as security, software engineering, database, networking, and others. This approach is especially important in Computer Science, where training in specific languages and systems and on specific machines is transitory, as these languages, systems, and machines evolve. In contrast, many of the principles will last, and generally apply to a wide variety of specializations within the field. The breadth of subject material is important as many students will have a number of different job classifications in their working lives. Students pursuing the Master of Science in Computer Science choose from one of two concentrations, Computer Science or Computer Networks. The Computer Science concentration provides significant flexibility allowing the student to direct their studies towards the special interest area they find most compelling. The Computer Networks concentration provides the opportunity to focus on topics in Computer Networking. Our program features small classes that allow for contact between students and faculty. Many graduate classes are offered in the late afternoon or early evening, making it possible for working students to attend. Scholarships - View all scholarships Internships
