The M.S. in Computer Science degree program provides advanced education in all areas of computer science. It is useful for those wishing to go into leadership roles in high tech organizations. This degree can also provide the foundation for application to Ph.D. programs. Our objective is to help students achieve a high level of professional competence and lifelong learning. M.S. students may choose either an applied emphasis by pursuing the software development project pathway (Plan B) or a research emphasis by pursuing the thesis pathway (Plan A).
