Computer Science M.S.

The Computer Science MS degree offers coursework from across a broad spectrum of theoretical and applied computer science and combines research opportunities in nearly all areas of the field. The graduate program's faculty members advise students in such areas as algorithms and theoretical computer science; numerical, parallel, and high-performance computing; distributed computing and systems; artificial intelligence, robotics, and computer vision; databases and data mining; human-computer interaction and information systems; graphics and visualization; software engineering and programming languages; computer architecture and compilers; networking; bioinformatics and computational biology; and computer security. In addition, students may choose a course of study that integrates research in computer science with applications in other fields. Faculty from the Department of Computer Science and Engineering also participate in a variety of other graduate programs, including bioinformatics and computational biology, health informatics, cognitive science, scientific computation, and human factors and ergonomics.
