MSc in Computer Science

The Master in Computer Science degree program has two options. Graduate computer science students looking to complete a more research-oriented degree can write a master's thesis.

Students in the M.S. degree program in Computer Science can choose to complete a master’s thesis or a project-based study track.

The M.S. program can be completed in one year, or two years with an optional thesis. In this program, students can pursue interdisciplinary collaborations within Tufts School of Engineering and across the university.

About Tufts School of Engineering

Tufts' engineering programs challenge the traditional boundaries of academic disciplines, research, and the roles of engineers in our increasingly interconnected global community. Every day, Tufts researchers are developing new tools to improve medical diagnosis and treatment; novel materials for a greener future; smarter, more powerful computers; and innovative ways to educate the engineers of tomorrow. Master's and doctoral programs in six academic departments, as well as the M.S. in Engineering Management, offered through Tufts Gordon Institute, give engineering students the right mix of specialization and interdisciplinary exploration.
