MA/MS in Computer Science

SMU's Lyle School of Engineering confers this Master of Science with optional emphasis areas such as artificial intelligence, cybersecurity or software engineering. The degree is practical in orientation, preparing graduates to create workable solutions and to present their ideas clearly to audiences around the world. Working engineers and faculty specialists helped shape the course plan, and the format suits people already employed. Students can attend in person or remotely, either full time or part time. The AI emphasis can be completed entirely online, and a combined route allows enrollment in the Cox School's MBA during the same period. Admission requires an undergraduate degree in computing, computer engineering or a near neighbor of those fields. Applicants send transcripts, pay an application fee and, where relevant, provide evidence of English proficiency. Each file receives a holistic review. The program page also lists career outcome data and details on deadlines and costs.
