Recognizing the high demand for training in computer science, Brandeis created an innovative master’s program for majors in the sciences and humanities who wish to transition to the thriving computer industry. This means you’ll be learning alongside smart, motivated students who are not afraid of change.
The two-year, 12-course program provides training in the fundamentals of computing, as well as in “hot” areas such as big data. While the curriculum is demanding, the flexibility afforded by the wide range of electives means you can tailor your program to your own personal learning goals.
As a student of the master’s in computer science for non-majors, you’ll have access to the department’s dedicated, research-driven computer science faculty, to the thriving high-tech cities of Boston and Cambridge, and to a growing network of alumni who have found careers in the high-tech, high-demand, high-salary fields in both academia and industry.
This MS track is for students who have a bachelor's degree in another field who wish to prepare for a PhD or a career in computer science. GRE is required.
