Admission requirements
- Except as provided herein, applicants must be in the last semester of undergraduate study at or hold a bachelor’s or graduate degree from the US regionally accredited college or university. While there is no automatic prohibition of the admission of students from the US nationally accredited colleges or universities, EP retains the right to assess an applicant’s courses and/or degrees earned from one of those institutions to determine their academic readiness for the Program. Applicants who hold degrees from international institutions are encouraged to apply and must meet requirements found on EP’s International Applicants webpage.
- Admitted students typically have earned a grade point average of at least 3.0 on a 4.0 scale (B or above) in the latter half of their undergraduate studies (when reviewing an application, the candidate’s academic and professional background will be considered).
- Applicants must submit official transcripts from all post-secondary institutions attended.
- No GRE is required. Should you choose to submit scores, use code 4655.

About the Program
Structured and rigorous courses help you master the skills you need to truly make an impact in your field and advance your career. To guide your learning experience, you will have access to a team of top-level scientists, researchers, and engineers who actively practice what they teach, including experts from the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Lab. You can also opt to engage in meaningful research through our uniquely designed Capstone course.
As a graduate of the Master’s in Computer Science program, you will:
- Use mathematical tools and methods to analyze the efficiency of computer algorithms.
- Assess the accuracy of deterministic and non-deterministic algorithms.
- Master several important graphs, algorithms, and their associated creation, maintenance, and application strategies.
- Understand data structures in scientific programming, sorting/searching, and string search.
A focus area must be selected. While required to narrow your study, your focus area will not appear on your degree.
- Analysis: Gain an understanding of security issues such as forensic patterns, intrusion detection rules, ethical hacking techniques, and reverse engineering.
- Assured Autonomy: Focus on the complexities inherent in autonomous systems and the multifaceted and multilayered approaches necessary for the continual assurance of these Learning-Enabled, Cyber-Physical Systems (LE-CPSs).
- Networks: Study the security of clouds, protocols, data communications, covert channels, wired and wireless networks, and the internet.
- Systems: Explore the security of computing devices ranging from typical architectures to embedded and real-time systems. Study topics like secure system design, authentication solutions, and application software.
