Computer Science and Statistics Graduate Programs

Both M.S. and Ph.D degrees in Computer Science are offered, as well as M.S. degrees in Statistics, Ph.D. degrees in Applied Mathematics (with a Computer Science emphasis or a Statistics emphasis), and graduate certificates in Digital Forensics.

The M.S. in Computer Science program has one of the least structured course requirements of graduate programs in the region, specifically designed to allow a student and their advisor to determine the best program of study for the student's interests. Students in the Ph.D. programs in either Computer Science or in Applied Mathematics with a Computer Science emphasis typically work with one of our research groups to produce new intellectual contributions to the Computer Science field. The M.S. in Statistics and Ph.D. in Applied Mathematics with a Statistics focus programs often involve multidisciplinary work with one of the many research projects on campus. The graduate certificate in Digital Forensics is a program that allows students to get graduate credentials in an important and emerging field without having to commit to the requirements of a full Master's degree.

Our graduate programs are committed to meeting the needs of both industrial professionals and full-time graduate students. Our graduate courses are offered at convenient times for professionals. For full-time graduate students, the department has Teaching Assistantships and Research Assistantships available that pay a stipend, cover tuition, fees, and insurance.

Graduate Degrees

Master of Science in Computer Science: Thesis, non-thesis and applied non-thesis tracks are available with support in any of our research areas.
Master of Science in Statistics: Graduate program that provides exposure to problem formulation, solution techniques, and written and verbal presentation of results giving our students an advantage in the job market.
Graduate Certificate in Digital Forensics: The Graduate Certificate in Digital Forensics is a formal graduate degree, but is focused on digital forensics and requires less course work than a full Master's Degree.
Ph.D in Computer Science: The Ph.D. in Computer Science is a research degree where the student completes a major research project that enhances the field of Computer Science.
Ph.D. in Applied Math: Combined Doctorate in Computer Science, Statistics and Mathematics.
