Students will be able to take courses offered by award-winning faculty. Courses are offered in a conventional classroom setting that has been upgraded with web-based distance technology that captures the in-class experience. Students may attend on-campus present in the classroom, attend the live classes over the internet, or view recorded classroom lectures. Our recorded lectures are available in formats for PCs, PDAs, iPods, and many smartphones. Students may complete the program in 22 months (4 regular semesters plus a summer semester).
The program offers students a true graduate-school experience, with high expectations and intensive learning. Students are expected to study hard, complete projects, master new technologies and new science, participate in discussions, and make presentations. The program offers opportunities to work on research projects and offers research assistantships.
With our web-based distance-learning options, the MSACS program is perfect for the working professional in the computing field who is interested in obtaining a graduate degree in computer science, concurrent with work and family commitments.
What is Applied Computer Science?
Applied CS is a subset of the huge computing discipline, focusing on knowledge areas within CS that are readily applied to solving problems and enhancing the quality of our lives. This includes a wide swath of CS areas from embedded systems to database architectures to software engineering to web search engines to digital game design to bioinformatics to networking. Traditional mathematical foundations and CS theoretical topics receive reduced coverage.
