Master of Science in Computer Science

The School of Engineering and Applied Sciences offers a graduate program leading to the Master of Science degree. Students in the Master's program may pursue either a thesis or non-thesis option. The thesis research substitutes for 6 credit hours of the program. Students who are interested in writing a thesis should contact a faculty member whose research interests overlap with theirs. This should be done during a student’s first semester of graduate study, so that thesis work can begin in the second semester.
