Master's Program
Overview
The Computer Science discipline is concerned with the design, analysis, implementation, maintenance, and evolution of computer-based systems, and their associated theoretical foundations. Computer science is powering the information revolution of the 21st century, and computer-based systems are used in every scholarly discipline, every sector of industry, and every walk of human life.
The Computer Science graduate program prepares students for research and professional practice in computer science and related technologies. The program includes both fundamentals and advanced work in the areas of artificial intelligence and databases, programming languages and software engineering, systems and networks, theoretical computer science, and visual computing. Graduate classes are divided into basic classes, which have no graduate course prerequisite, and advanced classes, which have a graduate class as a prerequisite. Graduate classes are generally offered in the late afternoon and evening. Financial aid in the form of graduate assistantships may be available for full-time degree-seeking students.
