Graduate Programs

Master of Science in Computer Science

The program leading to a Master of Science degree in Computer Science (MS CS) is research-oriented and consequently requires full-time study. The program curriculum consists of a set of required courses, major courses to provide the specialization within the program and electives. Towards the end of the program, the student will need to defend a thesis on a selected topic.  Thesis must be presented in a national or international conference.

Master of Science in Data Science

The Master of Science in Data Science (MS DS) program tackles the theories, techniques and methods involved in Data Science – the processing of large datasets and the application of statistical and computational methods to extract meaning from these datasets. Students under this program will take courses in statistical data analysis, data mining, and large-scale parallel data processing, as well as courses that tackle specialized methods in data science and those that delve into particular domains. The program includes a thesis capstone requirement where students will embark on practical data science projects using real datasets.

Master of Science in Innovation Through Media Arts Technology

The MS in Innovation through Media Arts Technology (MS IMAT) program is a research-oriented degree that provides foundation courses for design and innovation and a range of electives to pursue specific areas of interest. It has a six-unit credit capstone referred to as a thesis which requires an artifact as an output, a written report and an oral presentation.  The student must likewise prepare a manuscript of his/her thesis work that is ready for submission to a reputable national or international journal or conference.

Master in Information Technology

The Master in Information Technology (MIT) is a professional terminal program directed at information technology (IT) educators who need to upgrade their knowledge and skills. It is a content course, as opposed to an education course. It provides educators with increased training in core computer concepts, theories, and technology.

Master in Innovation Through Media Arts Technology

The Master in Innovation through Media Arts Technology (MIMAT) program is a professional degree that provides foundation courses for design and innovation and a range of electives to pursue specific areas of interest. It has a six-unit credit capstone referred to as an ‘Innovation Project’ which requires an artifact as an output, a written report and an oral presentation.

Doctor of Philosophy in Computer Science

The PhD in Computer Science program is directed at highly competent students who intend to pursue careers in research and education. The program enables students to master advanced computer science theory and applications, undertake independent research that contributes to the body of knowledge, and convey expertise to younger generations of computer scientists.
