Emphasis - Computer Science

Description

A M.S. in engineering science with emphasis in computer science prepares a student with advanced technical knowledge and communication skills for pursuing a career in industry, engineering research and development, public service, or for doctoral work.

Course Requirements

The M.S. with emphasis in computer science requires that a student satisfy the departmental distribution requirement by selecting courses in the areas of Applications, Systems, and Theory (two courses from one area and at least one course from each of the other two areas). Lists of the currently available courses falling into these three distribution areas are available from the Department of Computer Science. Also required are a minimum of 9 semester hours from computer science courses at the 600 level.

Students may choose to complete the degree with either a thesis or nonthesis option. For the thesis option, no more than 6 credit hours may be earned from thesis hours (Engr 697). For the nonthesis option, 3 semester hours must be earned from an independent study research project (Engr 693); the student must complete a written project paper and pass an oral examination on the work in the project area.

Other Academic Requirements

For either option, a candidate must pass a final oral examination
