A master’s in computer science prepares graduates for lucrative, high-level careers in computer science. Computer scientists design new computer technologies to solve problems in business, healthcare, science, and education. This program is geared towards current industry demands and provides students with knowledge of the latest technology that is essential in many new areas, including computer and network service and consulting companies, financial institutions, health industries, natural science labs, and medical research labs, and other contexts where intensive manipulation of information is important.
The MS program consists of 30 graduate credit hours in Computer Science. The curriculum consists of six core courses and four elective courses. Students have the option to choose a thesis. The MSCS program extends opportunities to students who have busy work schedules and families and can not attend classes during the daytime. The courses in this program are offered completely online to offer a flexible learning environment.
