    "description": "<p>The Master of Science in Computer Science program produces graduates with a high level of competency in understanding, applying, and enunciating the modern concepts, principles, methods, and theories necessary for the design and implementation of computing systems.</p> <p>The Master of Science in Computer Science program provides students with an in-depth education geared toward meeting the needs of business and industry in Florida and throughout the United States. The program's goal is to produce graduates with a high level of competency in understanding, applying, and enunciating the modern concepts, principles, methods, and theories necessary for the design and implementation of computing systems.</p> <p>Students in the program receive a broad background in the areas of programming systems and languages, computer architecture, and computer science theory while specializing in a research area. Research interests of the computer science faculty include bioinformatics and system biology, computer architecture, computer graphics, computer security and digital forensics, computer vision, database, image and video processing, machine learning and AI, networking and mobile computing, parallel computation, software engineering and systems, theory of computing, algorithms and quantum computing, virtual reality and HCI.. The program has a long and respected history, having conferred MS degrees since 1968.</p> <p>Students successfully completing this program will have exhibited breadth as well as depth of capability involving both theoretical aspects of computer science and practical considerations of computing.</p> <p>This degree has 1 track: Accelerated BS to MS Track. Please scroll to the bottom of this page for further details on this Tracks.</p> <p>The Computer Science MS program offers both a thesis and nonthesis option with each option requiring a minimum of 30 credit hours beyond the bachelor's degree. At least half of these hours must be at the 6000-level. Both options require 12 credit hours of required courses. Thesis students must take 12 credit hours of electives and a minimum of 6 credit hours of thesis. Nonthesis students must take 18 credit hours of electives and complete a culminating experience as determined by the program's graduate committee.</p> <p><strong>Total Credit Hours Required: 30 Credit Hours Minimum beyond the Bachelor's Degree</strong></p>",
