Masters Degrees Offered
The College of Computing Sciences has three different Masters degree programs to offer students interested advanced study in theoretical and applied computing. From AI to MIS to Computation within Biology, CCS Masters programs will challenge, stimulate and prepare students for career growth.
Computer Science (MSCS)
Master of Science in Computer Science. Recognizing that a variety of academic backgrounds may be suited to this discipline, this program is for students who want advanced studies in computer science. The program has various areas of concentration depending on the interests of the students
- Algorithms
- Bioinformatics
- Computer vision
- Databases
- Pervasive and mobile computing
- Systems and software engineering
- Networking, and security
Information Systems (MSIS)
Master of Science in Information Systems provides solid grounding in three principal areas:
- Systems analysis and software engineering
- Information and communication technologies
- Management of information systems
The program emphasizes the planning, investigation, design, development, application, management and evaluation of Information Systems. The program trains students to be integral members of application design and development teams. (Department | Requirements)
Bioinformatics (MS BioInf)
The Master of Science in Bioinformatics addresses the growing need for graduates trained in biology together with computer science and mathematics. Depending on the background of the student, bridge programs are offered for those with prior training in either biological sciences or physical/computational sciences. (Department | Requirements)
