[size=0.938em]30 or 33 credit hours

[size=0.938em]The Master of Computer Science (MCS) is a Professional Master's degree program designed for:

• Computer science professionals currently working in business, government, or industry who want to advance their careers.
• Recent computer science graduates who want to extend and deepen their knowledge of the field in order to gain a competitive edge in the job market.
• People without a previous degree in computer science who want to prepare for a career as a working computer science professional.
  

[size=0.938em]The MCS program provides a conceptual and practical education in computer science by combining a broad core curriculum with user-selected areas of study. MCS coursework can include CS Professional courses. Students in the MCS program can choose to do a Master's Project (but not a Master's Thesis) or coursework-only. There is no master's comprehensive exam.

[size=0.938em]The general MCS program requires 30 credit hours of coursework and offers students the most flexibility in selecting elective courses. Students interested in an especially extensive study of a topic can choose one of 11 specializations, but specialization is not required.

[size=0.938em]A full-time student whose bachelor degree was in computer science can complete a general MCS program in three semesters plus a summer course. A student without a bachelor's degree in computer science may require extra time to make up deficiencies in prerequisite undergraduate coursework. The normal time required to earn an MCS with a specialization is two years, and students pursuing a specialization should start taking specialization courses as early as possible, even during their first semester.
