Master of Science, Computer Science
Program Description
The Master of Science degree program in Computer Science at Warren National University builds upon the fundamental skills of the undergraduate program, skills gained experientially or educationally. Advanced programming techniques, simulation and modeling are introduced at the master level. A deeper understanding of programming concepts and the basis of computer systems analysis and design continues with the study of finite languages and analysis of algorithms. Advanced topics in operating systems design and communications systems design are provided to enhance students’ capabilities in the use of computers in real world applications, while courses in software engineering, artificial intelligence and developing the man/machine interface provide students with the necessary skills to design and implement successful systems.
Program Objectives
In addition to the objectives listed for the School of Technology master level degree program, upon graduation, Computer Science students will be able to:
- Promote creative development to remain the on the cutting edge of technology issues
- Make recommendations about appropriate software, hardware, or networking solutions
- Identify and solve challenging computer science and engineering problems
- Demonstrate high levels of professional responsibility and ethical behavior
- Select operating systems, programming languages, databases and networks
- Apply artificial intelligence, human interfaces, and information security
- Demonstrate proficiency in computer science at the master's degree level
