30 Hours
The UNG Master of Science in Computer Science (MSCS) prepares graduates for advanced positions in industry or research-focused doctoral programs. Through core courses covering general topics, such as cybersecurity, operating systems, computer applications, networking, and specialized electives, students gain both breadth of knowledge and depth of knowledge while engaging in experiential learning using state-of-the-art software and equipment. Students complete concentrations in machine learning and cyber operations. Additionally, based on the electives selected, students can also complete certificates in technology management and cybersecurity as part of their degree program. Students choosing the thesis path will work on research projects with their advisor. The program is face-to-face; however, some online, or hybrid courses may be offered. The program is available to both full-time and part-time students.
MSCS Transfer Residency Requirement
To be awarded the MSCS degree, students are expected to take all course work as part of the MSCS cohort and must earn a minimum of 24 semester hours of graduate degree requirements in the program. The CSIS department head must approve all transfer credit. Transfer credit will be evaluated for use only in meeting elective credit in the MSCS program at the 6000-level. Transfer credit will not be given for any course in which a grade of less than a B was earned. All credits presented for the MSCS degree must have been earned within six years of the date of graduation from the MSCS program.
