What will I learn?

The Department of Computer Science offers two Master of Science options: a thesis-based or non-thesis degree. The thesis-based path is best if you are interested in completing a doctoral program and entering an academic and research career. The non-thesis track is ideal if you want to develop more sophisticated theoretical, applied and programming skills for professions in business or industry. The National Research Council ranks the department the best of its size among publicly funded universities, likely for its strong research in the areas of algorithms, artificial intelligence, visualization, programming languages, security, systems, and parallel and high-performance computing.
