A minimum of 36 semester units of graduate study are required for the MSCS program. A maximum of four (4) 4xx courses (400 level courses with a designation taken as elective courses) are allowed to count towards graduation credits. The student must meet prerequisite requirements when taking any of the following courses.
1.) Basic Courses (12.0 credits)
The required courses emphasize understanding of (1) the principles and architecture of Computer networks and (2) the design of modern operating systems. A student must take the following four courses to complete the required graduate course requirement. These four courses cannot be used to meet concentration coursework requirements.
CS501 Computer Architecture
CS517 Database Design
CS533 Advanced Computer Networks
CS536 Operating System Design
2.) Area of Concentration (12.0 credits)
In addition to the three required graduate courses in section I, a student must select an area of concentration and complete at least 12 units (four courses) listed in one chosen concentration area. This is to ensure the students competence in a selected area. As new courses are also offered between publications of school catalogs, the students are advised to refer to the “Concentration area courses tables published with each release of the semester class schedule to select courses for meeting the concentration area requirements. |
