The premier program is the Computer Science Ph.D., designed to equip graduates for leading roles in academic institutions, corporate research facilities, and public sector organizations. For those seeking advanced study without a doctoral commitment, we offer both thesis-based Master of Science and non-thesis Master of Computer Science options, available through traditional on-campus study or remote learning. Additionally, we provide a collaborative Master of Computer Networking degree in partnership with the Electrical and Computer Engineering departments (detailed under Computer Networking). Graduate students enjoy exclusive career support through our Corporate & Career Services, featuring on-campus recruitment events, specialized career workshops, simulated interview sessions, and personalized career guidance. The Master of Science in Computer Science emphasizes research, requiring students to fulfill coursework requirements and successfully defend an original research thesis.
