Computer Science, Master of Science

St. John's University

The MS in Computer Science program offers specialization in Artificial Intelligence, Data Science, and Cyber Security which focuses on current state-of-the-art technologies and applications, that can help you develop the skills necessary to join an AI-driven economy of the future.

The employment landscape for computer science-related professions is strong. Technology generally (and computer science specifically) dominate the job market, in terms of necessary skills for success in virtually all career areas.

Students who enroll in the Computer Science graduate program will achieve knowledge and competency in the core areas of advanced database system design, compiler design, algorithms and theory of computation, software design and architecture, and distributed operating systems. Students will be able to choose from a variety of elective courses in mobile applications, cryptography, machine learning, and robotics and they will select specializations in data mining and predictive analytics, software development, artificial intelligence, or cybersecurity.

Designed both for students with undergraduate degrees in computer science, as well as for career-changers. The method of delivery will mainly be as a campus-based program, with the option to expand to offer some courses as hybrid or online. The courses will be offered in the evening in Queens. Program delivery will accommodate full-time students in either 3 or 4 semesters as well as part time students.

The program supports the core Vincentian values of compassion and service in providing students with technical skills that can be used to combat poverty, disease, crime, as well as provide solutions in healthcare. It will utilize new instructional labs in St. Augustine Hall to provide maximum support for students' academic success.
