M.S. in Computer Science

The M.S. in Computer Science provides individuals with a background in computer science as a means of acquiring a higher level of computer sophistication. Individuals with job titles such as application programmer/analyst, systems programmer, or software engineer who want to expand the breadth of their computing background would benefit from this program.

Program Benefits

In order to accommodate students who are employed full-time, M.S. in Computer Science courses are offered in the evening and on Saturday mornings. Graduate courses usually have fewer students than the undergraduate courses, allowing for more contact with professors.
