Master of Science

The master of science program in computer science offers students the opportunity to engage in course work, research projects, and other activities designed to develop theoretical background and up-to-date practical skills in the rapidly changing area of computer science. The program provides a broad spectrum of study in preparation for careers in advanced computer research areas. The program allows students flexibility in planning their program of study after the initial course requirements are met.

All candidates must take the following four core courses:

CSCI 525 Algorithms and Complexity Theory, 3 cr.   530 Contemporary Computer Design, 3 cr.   545 Distributed Systems, 3 cr.   565 Advanced Artificial Intelligence, 3 cr.

 

Elective Courses (12 Credit hours)

CSCI 527 Neural Networks and Genetic Algorithms, 3 cr.   529 Design and Analysis of Parallel Algorithms, 3 cr.   532 Parallet Computer Architecture, 3 cr.   535 High Speed Networks, 3 cr.   541 Advanced Software Engineering, 3 cr.   555 Computer Graphics and Animation, 3 cr.   563 Digital Image Processing and Pattern Recognition, 3 cr.   567 Robotics and Computer Vision, 3 cr.   585 Selected Topics, 3 cr.

 

Thesis (8 Credit hours)

The graduate thesis work is an important and required part of the master's degree program. Each student must submit a thesis topic that has been approved by a faculty supervisor, normally after 12 credit hours. Various research topics are discussed in the seminar courses. The student must register in the first seminar course before submitting a thesis topic and once during the execution of the thesis research. To ensure adequate faculty consultation on the thesis, the student must register for the graduate thesis for at least two semesters.

The Computer Science seminar is a two-semester course (1 credit hour per semester) designed to prepare students for research in computer science. The seminar must be taken by all students. The first seminar will help the student select a topic for his/her thesis and must be taken before submitting a thesis topic. In the second seminar, the student will present a report on his/her thesis progress.

Example of a Program Completion Plan:

Semester 1: 3 graduate courses Semester 2: 3 graduate courses + seminar P1 Semester 3: 2 graduate courses + Thesis Semester 4: Thesis + seminar P2
