Computer Science - Distributed System Networking
The Master's Program in Computer Science is a two-year program in which a student must complete a required core of courses and additional concentration and general computer science elective courses. Students may choose to obtain the degree in Computer Science with specialization in Software Engineering or Distributed Systems and Networking.
The academic program is expected to culminate in a master's thesis or project. During the first semester of the program, the student should choose a major advisor who will assist him or her in the choice of elective courses. The major advisor will chair the student's advisory committee for the thesis. Two additional members of the students graduate advisory committee will need to be selected.
The graduate program can provide a strong background for future study in a doctoral program. It also provides graduate training as preparation for professional applications. Students with a master's degree in computer science are also prepared for a career in teaching and/or research.
In addition to the Computer Science major requirements, modules for the Distributed System Networking concentration include:
- Advanced Computer Architecture
- Advanced Operating Systems
- Data Communications and Computer Networks
- Distributed Computing and Parallel Processing
- Information Assurance and Network Security
