Hofstra University is pleased to announce the extension of scholarship award of $15,000 for Direct Entry MS in Computer Science students enrolling in the Spring 2025 or Fall 2025 semesters.

Some important details about the MS in Computer Science at Hofstra University:

• Students admitted directly can complete the 30-credit MS in Computer Science in 3 semesters (1.5 years). As a STEM-designated degree, graduates from this program will have the option to work full-time during their OPT for up to 3 years
• The $15,000 scholarship reduces the total estimated cost of tuition for the entire master’s degree to $36,900. Scholarship recipients who participate in Hofstra’s Computer Science Co-op program could potentially reduce their estimated total cost of tuition to $0 - $16,900 by recovering tuition costs before graduating.
• The Co-op program offers students the opportunity to gain paid, full-time work experience (CPT) for a period of 6 to 8 months during their studies, earning an estimated $20,000 - $40,000, without affecting total OPT time.
