Program Summary
The Seidenberg School of Computer Science and Information Systems at Pace University offers an online Master of Science in Computer Science that encompasses the study of computers–hardware, software, computational theory, algorithms, and how humans interact with technology. The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) projects that computer and informational technology jobs will grow from 2016 to 2026 by 13%. As a NACTEL student, you can attend with a greatly discounted tuition rate.
Take courses like algorithms and Computing Theory, Introduction to Parallel and Distributed Computing, Concepts and Structures in Internet Computing, Database Management Systems, Capstone (Project 1 and 2 OR Thesis 1 and 2, less common), Game Programming, Data Mining, Data Communications and Networks, Security in Computer Networking, Pattern Recognition, Big Data Warehousing. With online coursework and our cutting-edge virtual lab, you can learn and practice any time from anywhere.
As a graduate of the program, you’ll be positioned to guide organizations toward better decision-making based on data. One of the best things about tech jobs is that they’re available in every industry, which makes them as numerous as they are diverse. This program is STEM designated, which means you will be trained in areas of technology that are in high demand with United States employers.
