Department of Computer Science and Mathematics Graduate Programs MASTER OF SCIENCE IN COMPUTER SCIENCE The Master of Science in Computer Science aims at encouraging the discovery and transmission of knowledge, the education of students, the training of future faculty, and the general well being of society. The program provides a broad foundation of study in Computer Science while offering an indepth study in four concentration areas. Educational Objectives The purpose of the M.S. in Computer Science Program is to: 1. Prepare students for advanced graduate education. 2. Prepare students to be innovative leaders in their profession at the local, regional, and international level. 3. Enhance research and discovery. 4. Introduce outreach and engagement, by allowing computer science Faculty, and students, to contribute to the community at large. Learning Outcomes Graduates in the M.S. in Computer Science Program will: 1. Have an understanding of the advanced concepts in computer algorithms design, and analysis. 2. Be armed with a broad computer science education that includes theory, computer systems, hardware principles, computer networks, and software engineering. 3. Have a deep understanding of the fundamental knowledge prerequisite for the practice of, or for advanced study in, computer science, including its scientific principles and rigorous analysis. 4. Have a deep understanding of one of the following computer science areas: Theory and Algorithms, Computer Systems, Hardware Principles and Computer Networks, and Software Engineering. 5. Develop basic, and applied, research and innovation skills, and learn how to investigate the recent developments in the computing field that are not found in textbooks, by properly utilizing professional literature and academic journals. 6. Develop the skills of oral presentation, research documentation and technical writing, and independent study. Additional Admissions Requirements In addition to the admissions requirements that are explicitly stated in the Graduate Programs Academic Rules, Algorithms and Data Structures (CSC 310) is a required course from all students who have finished a non-computer science degree and apply for MS in Computer Science at LAU. The course may be taken as a remedial course after admission. Curriculum Requirements Students need 30 credits for graduation, with one required 3-credit course (CSC711) and three additional courses, one from each concentration area. The remaining courses may be chosen from any of the four areas without restrictions. I. Core Requirements (12 credits) Four three-credit courses: one from each of the four concentration areas listed below. CSC711 Design and Analysis of Algorithms is mandatory from the first area. II. Project or thesis option (3 or 6 credits) CSC798 Project Option CSC799 Thesis Option III. Electives from four concentration areas (12 or 15 credits) A.
