The Master of Science in Computer Science (M.S. in CS) is a graduate degree that typically takes 2-3 years to complete and is designed to provide advanced education in computer science. The program focuses on developing a strong foundation in theoretical and practical aspects of computer science, including algorithms, data structures, computer systems, and software engineering. Students typically choose a specialization such as artificial intelligence, data science, human-computer interaction, or networking, and complete a research-based thesis or capstone project to demonstrate their expertise. The M.S. in CS is ideal for those seeking to advance their careers in the tech industry, pursue a Ph.D. in computer science, or transition into a leadership role in the field.
