The MCS is an advanced degree program targeted at students with an undergraduate education in computing and related disciplines who can best profit from further breadth and background in computer science. The MCS also affords an opportunity for students employed in industry to seek a breadth of advanced education in computer science. The program reflects the dual nature of computer science as both a scientific and engineering discipline by allowing emphasis on theory as well as practical applications. Students seeking the master's submit a project portfolio compiling projects completed in three courses during their studies. Students can study topics such as: artificial intelligence computer-aided geometric design computer architecture computer graphics computer science theory database concepts digital systems design distributed systems language processing networking operating systems software engineering
