Computer science is a relatively new discipline. In general, it is a science of using computers to solve problems. It is not about using software. High Performance Computing is the main theme of this degree program. In addition to obtaining general computer science training, you will learn multi-core architectures and programming.

The master’s degree program in computer science will give students specialized preparation in the broad area of computer science with a choice of four concentrations:

After graduation students can advance their careers as computer professionals by taking various job positions in the computing industry, research centers, government and academia.

This degree program prepares students to become leaders in the field of information and network security, offering instruction and research opportunities that provide graduates with the necessary knowledge and skills to effectively assess, develop, and manage secure information networks and to respond to newly developed threats. Graduates often find career opportunities in information technology, homeland security, government and state agencies, private business and the armed forces.

A limited number of Graduate Teaching Assistantship positions are available each semester. There is no application process. Qualified candidates will be contacted directly based on their prior performance and attitudes in their courses.

C++ Programming Assessment Test study guide for graduate students in the Computer Science / Cybersecurity Master degree program. This test is to waive the required course CSCI 5003: C++ Programming Language & Lab.

A computer science minor complements majors from mathematics, physical science, chemistry, biology, and forensic science by integrating students’ knowledge and the problem-solving skills learned through the study of computer methods.
