Computer Science Masters


Computer Science deals with the fundamental scientific laws and engineering principles which govern the design, manufacture and use of computers. Thus, a computer scientist may be involved in work ranging from mathematical studies of algorithms to engineering research on advanced computing systems. This online instructor-led graduate program provides specialized courses in a wide range of topics. Upon completion you will receive a Masters Degree from Stevens Charles V. Schaefer, Jr. School of Engineering and Science.

Requirements for the Computer Science Masters degree are:


1. Completion of at least thirty credit hours of study at the graduate
level (500 and above), with a minimum grade of C and a minimum GPA of 3.0.
2. At least twenty one credit hours must be from computer science
courses, identified by the CS or SSW prefix. Currently available
courses are listed below.
3. At least one of the courses must be any one of the following core
computer science courses:


* CS 510 Principles of Programming Languages
* CS 520 Operating Systems
* CS 561 Database Management Systems I
* CS 573 Fundamentals of Cybersecurity
* CS 600 Advanced Algorithm Design and Implementation


Other Electives are available, see http://webcampus.stevens.edu/masters.aspx and talk to your faculty advisor
