Master of Science in Computer Science with a Specialization in Software Engineering

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 5 credit hours
• CPSC 5610 - Artificial Intelligence 5 credit hours

Choose one of the following two systems courses:

• CPSC 5510 - Computer Networks 5 credit hours
• CPSC 5520 - Distributed Systems 5 credit hours

Choose one of the following five software development courses:

• CPSC 5240 - Software as a Service 5 credit hours
• CPSC 5250 - Mobile Software Development 5 credit hours
• CPSC 5300 - Physical Database Design & Optimization 5 credit hours
• CPSC 5400 - Compiler Principles and Techniques 5 credit hours
• CPSC 5700 - Computer Graphics 5 credit hours

NOTES:

1. Acceptable CPSC electives include five-credit CPSC courses numbered from 5100-5799. Five-credit special topics courses (CPSC 5910) can also be used to fulfill electives.
2. Courses that fulfill a categorical requirement (applied algorithms, systems, and software development) will fulfill that requirement. A student can take additional courses in any category to fulfill CPSC electives. A single course cannot be used to simultaneously satisfy a categorical requirement and an elective.

NOTE:

1. Students with software engineering experience can be waived from CPSC 5110 and can fulfill the requirement by taking an additional 5 credits of CPSC electives instead.
2. Satisfactory performance (B- or better) in CPSC 5810 and CPSC 5820 is required.
