Master of Science in Computer Science and Engineering

The mission of the Department of Computer Science and Engineering Graduate Program is to develop researchers, educators and practicing professionals with advanced skills in computing. Students can pursue either a master's degree, doctorate or both. Students intending to pursue a PhD without first obtaining a master's degree may apply to the direct PhD track. The master's program is divided into two tracks: Research, requiring a master's thesis on some original research and Coursework, with a larger coursework requirement and a written master's comprehensive examination. Both tracks give students a solid background in the theory and foundations of computing and expose them to the latest technology and ideas in computer science.

A baccalaureate or professional degree (or equivalent foreign credential) from an accredited college or university, earned by the expected date of entry into your graduate program. A minimum of a 3.0 cumulative GPA (on a 4.0 scale) in all prior undergraduate and graduate work.
