Brief Description of the Program:
The
School of Computer Science offers both a Master of Science degree and a
Doctor of Philosophy degree. The Master of Science degree provides
study in state-of-the-art computer applications as well as an
introduction to the theoretical foundations of computer science.
There are eight areas of specialization within the department:
- Database systems, including database design,
database management systems and applications, database theory and
implementation, database machines, distributed databases, information
retrieval in heterogeneous databases, multimedia databases, data mining
and digital libraries.
|
- Software Engineering, including large-scale
software design, programming language environments, software
development and maintenance methodologies, object-oriented techniques,
software reuse, and software quality assurance.
- Parallel and distributed systems, including
formal specification methodologies, distributed file systems,
distributed multimedia systems and operating systems.
- Computer networks, including network protocols,
multimedia networking, and wireless communications.
- Theory, including algorithms and data
structures, programming languages, computer security, program
verification, and logic.
- Artificial intelligence, including neural
networks, expert systems, automated reasoning, term rewriting systems,
and intelligent tutoring systems.
- Cognitive Science, with emphasis on the
philosophical, psychological, and linguistic underpinnings of
artificial intelligence.
- Bioinformatics and Computational Biology.

Application Requirements:
- A Bachelor's Degree or equivalent in Computer
Science from a regionally accredited institution. A degree in a related
field is acceptable if the applicant shows evidence of computer science
background suitable for entry into the master's program as judged by
the Graduate Committee.
- Generally speaking, the minimum background is
the equivalent of all prerequisites for the required graduate courses.
(see Section 10 of the Graduate Handbook).
- "B" average or better in all course work
attempted while registered as an upper-division student in the
Bachelor's program, and a GRE general test score of 1000 (verbal and
quantitative combined), with a minimum quantitative score of 600.
- Three letters of recommendation from persons in
a position to judge the applicant's potential success in graduate
study.
- Approval of the Graduate Committee.
Additional Requirements for International Students:
- Applicants whose native language is not English
must score at least 550 on the TOEFL examination (computer-based TOEFL
test score must be at least 213), or a minimum of 3 on the Advanced
Placement International English Language Examination (APIEL).
- The TSE (Test for Spoken English) is required
for graduate students seeking financial assistantship (a minimum score
of 50 is needed for the TSE).
