Master of Science in Computer Science - Software Engineering
If you are a computer science engineer, then earning a Master of Science in Computer Science with a concentration in Software Engineering (MSCS-SE) can help you gain a competitive edge in pursuing increasing levels of responsibility in your career. Employment of computer software engineers is expected to grow at the national level by up to 38 percent through the year 2016 as organizations design and develop new computer software systems, and incorporate new technologies in a rapidly growing range of applications in order to maximize the efficiency of their computer systems.
The MSCS-SE degree program can give you the skills necessary for the organization and control of software development efforts using industry-current software engineering techniques to successfully deliver software systems requiring multi-person effort. You can learn to apply the principles and techniques of computer science, engineering and mathematical analysis to the design, development, testing and evaluation of the software and systems that can optimize the performance of computers in their many applications.

| Special Instructions |
The CTU Master of Science in Computer Science degree program is designed to provide technical depth in computer science and in the three concentration areas—software engineering, security and database management systems. In order to achieve this depth a solid foundation in mathematics, computer science, and the student’s concentration area is required. In addition, the student must have an intermediate level of ability to program in a current object-oriented programming language such as C++ or Java, such as is provided by CS215 or IT215. Students who have the required background but need to refresh their mathematics skills are highly encouraged to take MATH501. Students who have the required background but need to refresh some of their computer science skills are highly encouraged to take CS500. Students who do not have the required background in mathematics, computer science, and the concentration or current object oriented programming skills should consult with an Admissions Advisor to design an undergraduate foundation program in preparation for this degree. A resume and entrance essay stating why the student wants to attend graduate school are required in order to successfully assess the student’s preparation for entrance into the MSCS program. |
| Credit Transfer Restrictions |
Every institution has its own rules regarding transferability of credits and recognition of
coursework/degrees from another institution. The awarding of credit for and recognition of coursework/degrees completed at any other institution is at the
sole discretion of the receiving institution. No one at the School implied or made any representation or guarantee that coursework completed at another
institution would transfer to the School. Additionally, no one at the School implied, promised, or guaranteed that any credits earned at the School will
transfer to or be accepted by any other institution. I understand there is a meaningful possibility that some or all credits earned at the School will not
transfer to or be recognized by other institutions, and that it is my responsibility to find out in advance of enrollment whether a different institution will
recognize coursework/degrees or accept credits earned at the School. |
