Master of Science, Major in Computer Science with Concentration in Artificial Intelligence

Program Overview

The Master of Science in Computer Science (MSCS) program provides graduate-level preparation for students in one of today’s most high-demand fields, Computer Science. The degree provides the necessary background and experience in the development of various computational and infrastructure systems, including large-scale databases, distributed systems, secured applications, intelligent systems, and secured networking and cloud infrastructure. It provides students with the ability to research and implement the latest technologies and apply them to problems in computer science. Additionally, students can choose a concentration to specialize in the areas of artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, digital forensics, enterprise and cloud computing, and software engineering. A graduate of the MSCS program will be prepared for a wide range of careers  in the areas of technology development, business, education, health care, engineering, and government, or for further graduate study.

Apply current technologies to meet the challenges of today while creating new technologies that meet the challenges of tomorrow.
The benefit of a master's degree in computer science has become an increasingly valuable field for professionals in the sciences, IT, engineering, cyber security, and application development.
