Master of Science in Computer and Systems Engineering

This M.S. program with thesis is designed to prepare students for a professional career andor eventual pursuit of a doctoral degree. Students entering the program typically hold an accredited bachelor’s degree in an appropriate branch of engineering. Students completing the M.S. degree will write a thesis based on a research topic chosen by the student and a professor who serves as the academic adviser. The corresponding thesis, independently written by the student as a single author, must be approved by the adviser as well as two additional committee members from the department’s faculty (Master’s Committee). A thesis defense will be presented to this committee. The typical length of master's degree study is three to four semesters, but it is also possible to complete the master's degree in one calendar year. Internship or work related projects may be used towards a master's project for the fulfillment of the master's degree requirement. Substantial merit-based tuition scholarships are available to highly qualified master's students.

Transcripts and Degrees must be in English (all post-secondary education, including transcript keys). Unofficial transcripts should be uploaded to your graduate application. The minimum requirement for admission consideration is the completion and award of a four year U.S. bachelor's degree, or its equivalent, by the time of planned enrollment.
