Master of Science in Computer Science

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:

• CPSC 5600 - Parallel Computing
• CPSC 5610 - Artificial Intelligence

Choose one of the following two systems courses:

• CPSC 5510 - Computer Networks
• CPSC 5520 - Distributed Systems

Choose one option:

NOTES:

1. 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.
2. A student can take both systems courses. The first course will satisfy the systems requirement. The second course will count towards the 20 credits of breadth electives. A single course cannot be used to simultaneously satisfy the systems requirement and an elective.
3. For students selecting the project option, satisfactory performance (B- or better) in CPSC 5990 is required.
4. For students selecting the course option, satisfactory performance (B- or better) in CPSC 5890 is required.

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.

NOTE:

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