Programs

Students in the Master of Science program in the Computer Science Department are prepared to be technical problem solvers, are competent in the state of the art, and have mastered a particular aspect of Computer Science. All students are active in at least one of the Department's research labs and work closely with a faculty advisor in the completion of their M.S. thesis. Consequently, they are able to engage in further research where computers will have a significant impact. M.S. graduates are an asset to their employers as they demonstrate increased insight into solving problems, and are able to manage and complete significant projects.

Manufacturing Engineering (MS)

Creative and Analytical Thinking
Demonstrate creative and analytical thinking skills that provide a basis for problem solving within their area of emphasis.

Leadership, Teamwork, Management and Professionalism
Demonstrate an understanding of the elements of leadership, teamwork, management, and professionalism.

Mathematics (MS)

MS students study mathematics courses in preparation for careers in business, industry, government, or education. Other students use a master’s degree in mathematics in preparation for a doctoral degree in mathematics or a closely related discipline or a discipline where technical competence is appreciated. Master’s students graduate in an average of two years.

Mathematics (PhD)

The PhD program requires about four years beyond a master’s degree. The topic for a PhD dissertation may be chosen from faculty specialties, which include applied mathematics, algebraic geometry, geometric analysis, dynamical systems, number theory, geometric and low-dimensional topology, mathematical biology, group theory, algebra, and operations research.
