The candidate must have aminimum score of 500 on the quantitative portion ofthe GRE.GENERAL REQUIREMENTSThe program provides for thesis and non-thesisoptions.ABOUT THE PROGRAMThe graduate program is designed to equip studentswith advanced knowledge in both computer sciencetheory and application. This includes opportunitiesthrough funded research, seminars, lab-work, andfield trips to acquire hands-on experience on a widevariety of state-of-the-art computer hardware andsoftware systems.The department offers a rigorous Master of Sciencedegree in Computer Science, providing basiccompetence in the principal areas of computerscience. On this foundation, the student has theopportunity to build expertise in one of a number ofpractical and theoretical subjects, working toward adeeper understanding under the guidance of a facultymember.ADMISSION REQUIREMENTSProspective students must have substantialbackground in computing, mathematics and science.The required computing background typicallyincludes: competence in programming usingC++/Java, discrete structures, data structures andMaster's Degree with the Non-Thesis OptionStudent who chooses the non-thesis option mustcomplete 36 hours of course work. The courseworkconsists of 18 hours of core courses and 18 hours ofcomputer science (CMP) electives. With this option,the student must pass the comprehensive exam withinthree attempts. The comprehensive examination willconsist of questions from the knowledge units fromeach of the six core courses. A score of 75 or better isrequired to pass the comprehensive examination.Students also must complete all core courses prior totaking the comprehensive examination.Master's Degree with the Thesis OptionStudents who choose to take the thesis option mustcomplete 33 semester hours of course work plus 6hours of thesis. The course work consists of 18 hoursof core courses and 9 hours of computer science(CMP) electives. The master's research and thesismust be an original work that (l) offers a theoreticalcontribution to the field or (2) provides a newmethodology or techniques for solving practicalproblems in the area of computer science.43
Core CoursesEvery student must take all of the core courses tofulfill the breadth-first requirement. A minimumGPA of 3.00 must be earned in the core courses.Elective CoursesA number of elective courses are provided for thestudent to master in interested field(s) ofspecialization.Program Requirements with the Thesis OptionProfessional Core (Required)Sem.HoursCMP 511 Design and Analysis of3AlgorithmsCMP 521 Object Oriented3Programming and DesignCMP 531 Computer Architecture 3CMP 541 Operating Systems Principles 3CMP 551 Database Management3SystemsCMP 561 Software Engineering3MethodologyCMP Electives 9CMP Thesis 6Total 33Program Requirements with the Non-ThesisOptionProfessional Core (RequiredSem.HoursCMP 511 Design and Analysis of3AlgorithmsCMP 521 Object Oriented3Programming and DesignCMP 531 Computer Architecture 3CMP 541 Operating Systems Principles 3CMP 551 Database Management3SystemsCMP 561 Software Engineering3MethodologyCMP Electives 18Total 36ElectivesCMP 513 Management Information3SystemsCMP 515 Numerical Analysis 3CMP 517 Applications of Statistical3MethodsCMP 523 Compiler Design 3CMP 525 Advanced Data Structures 3CMP 535 Information to Bioinformatics 3CMP 543 Computer Communications 3CMP 550 Artificial Intelligence 3CMP 554 Neural Networks 3CMP 555 Advanced Database Systems 3CMP 562 Multimedia Systems and3ApplicationsCMP 570 Computer Graphics and3AnimationCMP 577 Fuzzy and Expert Systems 3CMP 591 Cooperative Educational3Work ExperienceCMP 593 Advanced Topics in3Computer ScienceCMP 597 Independent Study 344
