About the MSCSE Program

The Master of Science in Computer Science Engineering (MSCSE) program is designed to provide breadth of understanding in the core topics of computer science, in-depth advanced material, and a range of topics in the research areas of the faculty.

A balance of theory and practice prepares students to perform research as well as training them to become practicing computer scientists or software engineers in business, industry, or government. A thesis option is available to prepare students for doctoral studies or other research-oriented career paths.

Many of our MSCSE faculty also work at leading Silicon Valley companies, including Apple Inc., bringing real-world expertise directly into the classroom.
