The master’s program offers students a high level of flexibility. Students may focus on one area of computer science, or take courses across the breadth of the field. The degree may be completed on a full-time or part-time basis.
For students with an undergraduate degree in computer science or a closely related field, the requirements can usually be completed over the course of three semesters.
We welcome applications from students who did not major in computer science but whose undergraduate work demonstrates strong technical skills.
This program is for students who intend to complete their studies at the University of Rochester with an MS degree. Students with an undergraduate degree who wish to get their PhD in computer science at Rochester should apply directly to the PhD program.
