Ready to take your career to the next level? Apply to one of our top-ranked Master's Programs to gain new skills and knowledge for research or industry. Within our Master's Program, the College currently defines two tracks that reflect different goals of students and our faculty's recommendations for how to accomplish those goals. Students are asked to choose from the following tracks when they arrive at UMass and may switch between them. Professional MS Track Professional MS is the track for students who do not expect to apply to a PhD program. These students, instead, are pursuing the MS degree to learn more about Computer Science so they are better prepared for a job in the field. Research MS Track Research MS is the track for students who are planning to (or thinking they might) apply for PhD programs. This group includes students who intend to apply for a transfer into the Department's MS+PhD or PhD programs. Data Science MS Track For those students interested in focusing their master's studies in data science, the College's Center for Data Science has developed a Data Science MS Track. Students in this track will do most or all of their coursework in data science relevant courses.
