2014-2015 Graduate Catalog [ARCHIVED CATALOG]

Master of Science in Computer Science


Degree Requirements


Minimum requirements for the degree are 47 graduate credits. These include 15 credits of required courses, 23 credits of electives, and 9 credits of a graduate project. A maximum of 12 credits taken in non-matriculated status may be applied to this program. Students are allowed up to 10 transfer credits as described earlier in this Catalog . All degree requirements must be completed within six years after course work has begun.

NOTE:


*Students may be waived from one or more of these preparatory courses if they have prior equivalent coursework.

Choose one of the following two applied algorithms courses:


 

NOTE:

A student can take both applied algorithms courses. The first course will satisfy the applied algorithms requirement. The second course will count towards the 20 credits of breadth electives. A single course cannot be used to simultaneously satisfy the applied algorithms requirement and an elective.

NOTE:


Students who have successfully completed a BS in computer science at Seattle University may apply up to 10 credits of 5000-level CPSC electives completed in the BS towards the breadth elective requirement.

IV. Graduate Project


9 credits:

NOTE:


The MSCS project consisting of 9 credits carried out in either a two or three quarter sequence. The project requires either implementation of a software system or carrying out research within computer science.  Satisfactory performance (B- or better) in graduate project is required of all MSCS students.
 

NOTE:


Students may also take an additional 5-credit MSCS breadth elective to satisfy the general elective requirement.
