Master of Science in Computer Science

Computer Science offers the Master of Science (M.S.) and the Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) degrees in computer science. The M.S. degree provides an intensive course of study in areas of faculty research interest. It provides the student with an excellent understanding of computer science that provides a solid foundation for many advanced jobs in the field.. Students are required to complete 30 semester hours in an approved program of study. The degree is offered with either a thesis or non-thesis option. The thesis option requires 12 hours of 500-level (or above) courses plus 6 hours of thesis credit. The non-thesis option requires at least 15 hours of courses plus 3 hours of project credit. The M.S. degree is a program of graduate study that provides students with intensive preparation for advanced work and leadership in a variety of fields in computing. Helping students without computer science experience enter careers in technology – The University of Maine accepts qualified students who do not have an undergraduate degree in computer science by providing them with a track to join the mainstream graduate program within one year of being admitted. Students are expected to have had at least one university-level programming course (with a minimum grade of B or better) when applying. The Master of Science student will explore topics in computer science more deeply than before, extending their undergraduate education and acquiring skills and expertise to further their careers. Their studies will be conducted under the direction of a faculty advisor who will help guide the student. An M.S. student can finish their studies by preparing and defending a master’s thesis, completing an applied master’s project, or pursuing a course-only option. If the student chooses to write a Master’s thesis they will work closely with other faculty on their three-member M.S. Advisory Committee.
