The Master of Science in Software Engineering (MSSE) program provides a thorough understanding of the fundamental issues related to software development and the software development process. The MSSE curriculum provides a solid grounding in theoretical methods, principles, and tools, and an examination of fundamental software development issues and processes. These concepts are explored using realistic and relevant case examples and projects to ensure that the theory works in practice. The MSSE program is an interdisciplinary program administered by the College of Science and Engineering's Department of Computer Science and Engineering.
The program is offered in a format designed for full-time working professionals. Students take courses one day per week (alternating Fridays and Saturdays) and move through the curriculum as a cohort, taking all classes together for four semesters.
