age restriction: N admission status: graduate,
Delivery mode/s: classroom only main campus, Extended Studies
admission materials: 3 letters of Location/s: main campus, Orlando, Patuxent,
recommendation, GRE Spaceport
This program offers a student the opportunity to pursue advanced
studies in various areas of computer science. The program is
designed for students with bachelor’s degrees in computer science
and provides a solid preparation for those who may pursue a doctorate.
Master’s students are encouraged to concentrate their studies
in research areas of interest to faculty in the department.
Admission Requirements
Applicants must have taken courses in differential and integral
calculus, discrete mathematics, statistics and data structures and
algorithms, as well as at least 12 semester credit hours of advanced
coursework in undergraduate computer science. Admission may be
granted with the stipulation that deficiencies are made up by taking
the necessary extra courses. GRE scores (General Test only) are
required. Students with English language deficiencies are only permitted
to enroll in a restricted set of academic courses.
Degree Requirements
The Master of Science in Computer Science requires a minimum
of 30 credit hours of approved graduate study. Students are encouraged
to complete and successfully defend a thesis. Students who
decide not to write a thesis must pass a final program examination.
