About the course

Our program offers a master of science in the field of computer science. This program is oriented toward software and is most appropriate for candidates interested in the design, analysis, and implementation of software programs. Applicants to the on-campus and online M.S. degree are accepted in fall, spring, and summer semesters. International on-campus applicants are accepted only in fall and spring semesters. The Computer Science Department, at its own discretion, may consider accepting students under conditional admission, thereby allowing students whose baccalaureate degrees are in disciplines other than Computer Science to complete program entrance requirements. A placement exam measuring programming skills and knowledge of Java is required for all conditionally admitted on-campus students. Students have access to an outstanding variety of computing systems including a virtual server farm, a parallel processing cluster, and a hands-on network laboratory.
