Master of Science - Computer Science

Master's Degree

Program Summary

The Computer Science department offers comprehensive Master of Science and Doctorate of Philosophy programs that focus on computer network security, software engineering, web databases, wireless systems, intelligent systems, data mining, parallel and distributed processing pervasive computing, computer networks, scientific visualization, and algorithms. These research activities support the department’s two major areas of excellence: software engineering and critical infrastructure protection.

The computer science department at Missouri Science and Technology makes use of both its own computer learning center (CLC) as well as university CLCs. The CLC contains a mix of Linux and Windows computing platform. Class sizes are kept small to facilitate student and faculty interactions. Research laboratories provide support for both undergraduate and graduate students.

Graduate student will do research alongside expert computer science faculty in the areas of distributed embedded systems, machine learning, data mining, and software engineering. Or they can choose the interdisciplinary route, doing research beside faculty in various engineering disciplines. In fact, they often work in large group settings with faculty from departments across campus, examining advanced research problems in bio-informatics, homeland security, embedded systems, and virtual reality. Cooperation between students and faculty at this advanced level is a hallmark of the computer science research program.
