MSc in Computer Science in Waco United States | Baylor University

Baylor's Master of Science in Computer Science (M.S.C.S.) equips students with advanced expertise in software systems. This program delivers practical experience in software development, featuring collaborative work with faculty on thesis or project components. Candidates must hold a Bachelor of Science (B.S.) in computer science or a related discipline, with preparation equivalent to Baylor's undergraduate computer science curriculum. Essential prerequisites include foundational knowledge in theory (mathematics, algorithms, data structures), computer systems (operating systems, networking, databases), software engineering, and programming. Applicants lacking standard preparation will have their qualifications assessed by the Computer Science Department's Graduate Committee, which may impose additional prerequisites beyond the M.S. degree requirements. Typically completed in two years, Baylor's Computer Science Graduate Program offers an intimate, career-focused environment where students receive personalized attention, resources, and professional development opportunities. Currently, the program does not provide tuition assistance, subsidized health coverage, or multi-year stipend-based assistantships.
