MA/MS in Computer Science

Nova Southeastern University's Master of Science in Computer Science targets people who want to build and scale modern software. The program draws on algorithms, engineering of software, computer systems and data-centered tools, with an emphasis on the practical skills employers look for. Students can specialize in AI, defending against cyber threats, data science or software engineering. The data science track, for example, includes work on data storage, mining, analytics and visualization, while software engineering follows a full development lifecycle from specification through maintenance. Prerequisite courses in programming, computer organization and architecture are listed for students who need them. Study is available fully online or on the Fort Lauderdale/Davie campus, with three start dates per year. A bachelor's degree is required, STEM or technical fields are preferred, and GRE or GMAT scores are not needed.
