理学硕士 - 计算机科学

专业介绍

The Computer scientists develop complex software and computer systems that are central to contemporary science, engineering, industry, and business. The program enables students to either enter the computer science workforce or continue on to a doctoral program of study.

Individual and team-based assignments will enable students to build mastery of important computer science skills and their practical applications in areas that include computer networks, computer graphics and visualization, high-performance computing, cybersecurity, machine learning, and data science, software engineering, software design and architecture, and software validation and verification. In addition, students will have the opportunity to engage in critical application areas of computer science in areas that include biology, ecology, and astronomy.

The non-thesis option of this program allows students to complete their degree through coursework and project-based learning, while the thesis option is focused on engagement with research projects under the mentorship of a faculty member and culminating in the preparation and defense of a thesis.

The program is strengthened through broad collaborations with a variety of other academic programs, government agencies, and private research organizations, including the departments of Biological Sciences and Physics and Astronomy, Center for Bioengineering Innovation, Pathogen and Microbiome Institute, Center for Ecosystem Science and Society, Merriam-Powell Center for Environmental Research, and United States Geological Survey.

The Computer Science degree program prepares graduates for careers in a wide variety of areas in the application of computer science to science, engineering, industry, and business. The thesis option of the program is particularly appropriate for preparing graduates to subsequently enter doctoral programs of study.

Common types of software applications include advanced simulations, data analysis using Big Data, search and data mining, cloud-based systems, user interfaces, mobile application development, computer graphics, and game development, high-performance parallel applications, and database design and applications.
