Software Engineering, M.S.

California State University - Fullerton

The Master of Science in Software Engineering prepares individuals for careers as software engineers and software process managers in industry and government agencies. Graduates of the program gain valuable knowledge and skills in the development, design, evaluation and implementation of software engineering. Furthermore, graduates acquire software process expertise based on sound and current research, theory and practice, and will be well-positioned in a competitive job market. The M.S. in Software Engineering is offered as a 22-month, online-only program, or as an accelerated 17-month, on-campus program through Extension and International Programs at a higher tuition rate. Computer Science is a formal science spanning theoretical inquiry into the nature of computation, algorithms and information, the design and implementation of the software systems on which our civilization relies, and practical, interdisciplinary end-user applications. The degree programs provide students with a strong knowledge of computer science fundamentals and computer system technology, practical problem-solving skills for creating computer systems and applications, and the ability and motivation to adapt as technology advances. Creative research and professional development by computer science faculty and students are essential to its success.
