MA/MS in Computer Science

The Computer Science master's program at Georgia State serves students with and without an undergraduate computer science background. Classes meet on the Atlanta campus through the College of Arts & Sciences. Graduates of a computer science bachelor's program need a minimum of thirty-one semester hours, which usually takes a year and a half to two years. Applicants from other fields need at least fifty-six semester hours, spanning about two and a half to three years because of added foundation coursework. New students may enter in fall, spring or summer. Each term carries its own application date, so applicants should plan ahead for the semester they want. Being in the heart of Atlanta lets graduate students connect coursework with local organizations, employers and research partners. Prospective applicants can reach the department through the contact details on the program page to ask about requirements, advising and the application process.
