Curriculum
Completion of the online Master of Science Computer Science degree requires 39 credit hours, depending on the concentration selected. Students may be eligible to transfer up to 18 hours from previous graduate study.Pre-requisite Courses
Prerequisite Courses: Most MSCS students have computer science or computer engineering backgrounds. If a student has a weaker computer science background, he you will be required to take up to 5 undergraduate prerequisite courses in order to ensure preparation to handle the rigors of the master of science in computer science. The number of prerequisite courses will be determined upon evaluation of transcripts and other supporting documents submitted during the admissions process. Prerequisite courses cannot be used to fulfill any MSCS course requirements and must be completed before beginning graduate coursework.
Suggested prerequisite courses may include: CS201 Discrete Mathematics; CS210 Computer Organization CS310 Programming Language Concepts; CS320 Theory of Computation; and CS420 Operating Systems.
* Credit hours are equivalent to semester hours
