M.S. in Computer Science

University of California, Riverside (Engineering)

The Department of Computer Science and Engineering offers the Master of Science degree in Computer Science after completion of the following degree requirements. For information about the MS in Computer Engineering program, please check the CEN website. 48 quarter units of graduate or upper-division undergraduate courses are required. Students who have completed similar courses elsewhere may petition for a waiver of a required course or for substitution of an alternative course. For students interested in interdisciplinary research, individual study programs can be approved. All students must complete a capstone experience that synthesizes and integrates the knowledge and skills obtained throughout the master’s program, by either passing a comprehensive exam, writing a thesis, or completing a project. The Comprehensive Examination Option is the default option. If a student chooses the project or thesis option, it is the responsibility of the student to find a faculty member willing to supervise the master’s project or thesis, to form the faculty examining committee, and to schedule the oral presentation.
