Graduate Program
Program Importance
The Department of Computer Science offers advanced studies leading to a Master of Science degree in Computer Science with a concentration in Internet-Based Computing. Our M.S. degree program in Computer Science is driven by two distinct needs that are fueled by the growth in technological companies and jobs in the Middle Tennessee and Upper Cumberland regions. These needs include:
- opportunities for personnel from surrounding industries to upgrade their professional skills.
- a strong academic program that prepares graduates to pursue a terminal (Ph.D.) degree in Computer Science.
Program Focus
The program focuses on Internet-Based Computing and its applications in different disciplines, thereby providing a distinctive learning experience for our graduates and preparing them for computer and Internet-based jobs in various industries. Graduate students may carry out research for a thesis or project in any Computer Science related area, under the supervision of a faculty member having expertise in that area.
