Designed to meet the diverse needs of computer science professionals, the Master of Science in Computer Science (MSCS) offers a practitioner-oriented curriculum that emphasizes the study of microprocessors, data structures and operating systems. Further specializations include networks, Internet programming, artificial intelligence, graphics and other areas.

The primary goal of the MSCS program is to prepare graduates to apply technology to real world systems and problems. Graduates have a solid background in core areas ranging from algorithms to machine architecture from higher-level programming to software design.

The Master of Science in Computer Science (MSCS) degree program will allow students to:

• Select appropriate numerical computation techniques, operating systems, and programming language for specific development requirements and constraints;
• Apply networking and database development concepts in programming solutions;
• Identify appropriate software engineering principles and methods for different development projects;
• Apply concepts of complier design and parallel processing to software development; and
• Integrate concepts, tools, and theories to find and formulate problems, think analytically, and recommend technology-based solutions to problems.
  

• Student must complete 30 semester units of prescribed curriculum. One semester unit is equivalent to 15 contact hours or the equivalent in accelerated or distance learning terms.
• Satisfactory completion of all required course work with a cumulative G.P.A. of 2.5 on a 4.0 scale.
• Students must apply for graduation and meet all academic and financial requirements.
