Program Overview
The Master of Science in Computer Science (MS-CS) is a 30-credit program that may be completed either full-time or on a part-time basis. The program will provide students with graduate level coverage of algorithms, theory, systems, and an advanced topics course in cybersecurity. The electives will be chosen from courses on programming languages, cyber-physical systems, formal methods, machine learning, networked and distributed systems, and bioinformatics. The degree will have a thesis-based program and course based (non-thesis) version.
Augusta University’s program will train graduate students to become capable of applying mainstream computer science knowledge to formulating and solving problems ranging from problems that are solved by routine applications of computer science to problems that require advancing the state-of-the-art in the discipline.
