计算机科学理学硕士

计算机科学系提供计算机科学和软件工程的硕士学位课程，为计算机科学课程的学生提供高级学习证书，以及计算机工程的硕士学位联合课程。这些程序中每个程序的主要目标是使学生做好准备，以在日益依赖计算机使用和技术的社会中担任有效的专业计算机专家。第二个目标是为感兴趣的学生做好研究，教学或攻读博士学位的准备。在计算机科学领域。该计划还使具有其他领域背景的个人获得进入和发展计算机相关行业所需的技能和知识。完成计算机科学理学硕士课程至少需要以下三个领域的高级课程：计算机体系结构/计算机工程，数据库管理系统，信息保证和安全性
The Computer Science Department offers Master's Degree programs in Computer Science and Software Engineering, Certificates of Advanced Study for students enrolled in the Computer Science program, and a Master's Degree joint program in Computer Engineering. The primary goal of each of these programs is to prepare students to serve as effective professional computer specialists in a society which increasingly depends on computer usage and technology. A secondary goal is to prepare interested students for research, teaching, or further study toward the Ph.D. in Computer Science. The programs also enable individuals with background in other areas to obtain the skills and knowledge necessary to enter and advance in employment in computer-related industries. Completion of the Master of Science in Computer Science requires advanced coursework in a minimum of three of the following areas: computer architecture/computer engineering, database management systems, information assurance and security, intelligent systems, networks and communications, software engineering, and systems software. Teaching associateships are occasionally available for qualified graduate students, these students assist in instruction of undergraduate courses, supervision of laboratory work, and aid faculty members in research projects. Interested persons should apply in the Department office. Due to the large number of graduate students in Computer Science who are employed, most graduate level courses are offered in the late afternoon or evening.
