The graduate program in computer engineering aims to support students' ongoing professional and academic growth. The Master of Software Engineering curriculum seeks to broaden students' expertise while focusing on specific specialization areas.
This degree program equips graduates with these essential competencies:Designing and building software systems
Understanding software development methodologies
Creating web and mobile applications
Conducting system tests and quality control
Implementing both waterfall and agile approaches
Mastering programming languages including C#, Java, Android, and iOS platforms
Applying design patterns effectively
Utilizing cloud computing technologies
Measuring software performance and managing issues
Overseeing software projects and systems
Estimating development costs accurately
Admission to the Master of Software Engineering program is highly selective, evaluating applicants based on academic records, computer course performance, English proficiency tests (for non-native speakers), GRE scores, and undergraduate institution prestige. Professional experience may compensate for older or non-CS degrees.

Qualification Requirements
The CSE graduate admission committee bases its decision for M.S. graduate admission on the following criteria (in no specific order):
An undergraduate degree, preferably in an area related to computer science, computer engineering, or software engineering.
An overall GPA of 3.0 or higher in undergraduate coursework.
A 3.2 grade point average (on a 4.0 scale) on the last two years of undergraduate coursework. In particular, performance on Computer Science/Computer Engineering/Software Engineering related courses are emphasized.
Relevance of the student’s degree (background) to the CSE curriculum.
Rigor of the student’s Bachelor’s degree. A three-year degree is not considered rigorous. Note: International applicants with a “3+2” Master’s degree will be evaluated as equivalent to a 4-year Bachelor’s degree.
Reputation of the University/College from which the student has received his/her previous degrees.
A sum of verbal plus quantitative scores of at least 305 on the GRE. Additionally:
GRE quantitative score of at least 160
GRE verbal score of at least 145
The department does not require the advanced computer science test. A passing score on the Engineering in-Training (EIT) exam is also given consideration for admission decisions.
Students may be accepted with a GRE score of 300, but may be required to complete additional coursework for their MS degree (see degree requirements found later in this document). In this case:
GRE quantitative score of at least 155
GRE verbal score of at least 145
Students may also be accepted with up to three deficiency courses, but may be required to do additional coursework for their MS degree.
