From the use of AI technology to drive advancements in healthcare to the use of blockchain technology to accelerate business growth and predict disease outbreaks, computer science is driving economic growth and innovation. Our graduates are prepared to analyze, design, and apply computing systems to solve complex global issues.<br>The Master of Computer Science (MCS) at Howard's Graduate School provides intensive preparation in the analysis, design, and application of computing systems to solve complex issues in healthcare, transportation, cybersecurity, data science, and many other areas. Our program welcomes applicants with a strong aptitude for mathematics or programming or a background in computer science, mathematics, business, or related disciplines. Like many of our graduate alums, you will be prepared for a career in research, industry, or government or for further study at the doctoral level. Our program offers two different tracks: the thesis track, which requires 24 credits of coursework and six credits of thesis work, and the non-thesis track, which requires 33 credits of coursework, an independent research project, and successful completion of a qualifying exam in a chosen research area. You may choose from five distinct areas of specialization in software engineering, cybersecurity, algorithms and machine learning, data communications, and computer systems. You will work closely with faculty who are consultants to fortune 100 companies in the telecom, information technology, and government sectors. Computer Science faculty have expertise in various areas, including artificial intelligence, machine learning, distributed systems, bioinformatics, human-computer interaction, privacy, and security. In Washington, DC, there is no shortage of employment opportunities you will have access to at federal agencies, technology firms, and startups, including BAE Systems, Capital One, Amazon, Lockheed Martin, and Google. Qualified students can also enroll in the Graduate Certificate in Cybersecurity, further enhancing their industry marketability.
