Master of Science in Computer Science

Computer technology has had a major impact on the modern world. Things like the internet, smartphones, and cybersecurity systems would not be possible without computing. A Master's in Computer Science (MSCS) from Georgia State University can help you develop the skills and knowledge you need to succeed in this field. The MSCS program at Georgia State is designed to give you the knowledge and experience you need to demonstrate domain expertise and the ability to either continue educational training at the doctoral level or immediately work in the key economic sectors, such as government, business, industry, health care, and education. The program curriculum is forward-thinking and includes credits, courses, and a research thesis requirement. It also involves physical resources for comprehensive learning like labs/equipment and the diversity of the program faculty. The subjects you will study in the MSCS program will vary depending on your specialization, but some common courses include: * Basic Programming Laboratory * Programming Languages * Theory of Computation * Design and Analysis of Algorithms * Mathematical Logic * Discrete Mathematics * Distributed Systems * Computer Systems Verification * Complexity Theory * Operations Research * Data Mining and Machine Learning * Cryptography and Computer Security * Probability and Statistics After completing the MSCS program, you will have a variety of career options available to you. You could work as a software engineer, systems analyst, database administrator, or web developer. You could also go on to pursue a doctoral degree in computer science. In addition to the career benefits, an MSCS can also help you increase your tech stature and knowledge. You may also be eligible for tuition fee reimbursement and have the opportunity to teach in the field.
