M.S. Computer Science
M.S. Computer & Information Science
The Master of Science program in computer and information science
is designed
to equip students with a broad understanding of the discipline
and a specialization
in one of the following areas:
- Programming Languages
- Operating Systems
and Computer Architecture
- Theoretical Computer
Science
- Data and File
Structures
- Systems Science
Depth of understanding
in the student's program of study is acquired through completion
of core
courses and electives, appropriately chosen from the graduate
catalog.
Course
Descriptions
A
total of 33 graduate credit hours are required to complete the
M.S. degree.
The program also requires a thesis or project (6 credits and 3
credits,
respectively, toward the 33 credit total). Many of the graduate
courses
require a mathematics background that includes one or more of
Calculus,
Probability and Statistics, Discrete Mathematics, and Linear
Algebra.
An adequately prepared student may take up to two graduate
courses while
in undergraduate standing and, in some cases, count them toward
the M.S.
degree program.
