Master of Science in Computer Science and Applications

Virginia Tech

The Master of Science degree provides a solid foundation in computer science while still offering flexibility to meet the needs and interests of individual students. The MS Thesis option requires 30 credits of course work of which typically 21 credits must derive from graded courses. Students in good standing typically complete this option in two years. Students taking a terminal MS degree are expected to complete the thesis. The MS coursework-only option is intended for PhD students who seek a "MS along-the-way". Students who wish a coursework-only degree at the Master's level should enroll in the MENG degree program.
