A master's program in computer science and engineering delivers comprehensive understanding of computational system theories and designs. This advanced degree equips graduates for high-level industry positions or continued academic pursuits through doctoral studies.
The Computer Science and Engineering Department at the University of Nevada, Reno provides a cohesive curriculum encompassing information theory, computational implementation, and communication system design for Master of Science candidates. Graduate students pursuing this degree can specialize in specific computer science domains via the research-focused Thesis track (Plan A) or explore diverse subjects through the coursework-only approach (Plan B). Thesis candidates engage with one or more of these key research fields:
Cybersecurity and Network Infrastructure, Data Management and Software Engineering, Artificial Intelligence and Robotics
Proficiency in applying computer science research and theoretical knowledge to advance professional practice.
Capability to design experiments, analyze results, and effectively communicate findings.
Mastery of research methodologies and techniques.
Applicants to the graduate program should have a bachelor's degree in engineering, mathematics or science and have experience that includes the equivalent of a computer science and engineering minor.
Application deadline: January 15 for Fall semester; August 15 for Spring semester.
