Core Courses
The courses Computer Science 631 (Object-Oriented Software Engineering), 641 (Operating Systems), 702 (Theory of Computation), and 721 (Theory of Algorithms) are identified as the core courses for the MS degree and are required for all students in the MS Program.
-
MS Degree With Thesis
The MS degree with thesis requires thirty semester hours including six hours of thesis research (Computer Science 791 and 792) and a successfully completed thesis. The course work must include the twelve hour core. The remaining twelve hours are selected from computer science courses with at least six of these hours from 700-level courses other than Computer Science 795.
-
MS Degree With Project
The MS degree with project requires thirty-three semester hours including three hours of project research (Computer Science 795) and a successfully completed project. The course work must include the twelve hour core. The remaining eighteen hours are selected from computer science courses with at least six of these hours from 700-level courses other than Computer Science 791 and 792.
-
MS Degree With Coursework
For the MS degree without thesis or project, thirty-six semester hours are required. The course work must include the twelve hour core. The remaining twenty-four hours are selected from computer science courses with at least six of these hours from 700-level courses other than Computer Science 791, 792, and 795.

Interdisciplinary Graduate Track in Structural and Computational Biophysics
Computer Science graduate students can apply to participate in the Interdisciplinary Graduate Track in Structural and Computational Biophysics. The specific requirements are found in the Graduate School Bulletin. On successful completion of this track, a student will earn an MS degree in Computer Science (thesis option) with a Certification in Structural and Computational Biophysics.
