Online Degree and Certificate Programs
Degree Program
Non-degree Programs
Master of Computer Science (M.C.S.)
This option allows individuals to earn a Master of
Computer Science degree from a leader in information technology
entirely online with no required campus visits. All students
receive the same lectures, class assignments, exams and projects
as on-campus students. The degree requirements are the same as for
the on-campus M.C.S. program and can be found at M.C.S. Degree
Requirements. Note: #6 in the requirements does not apply to
off-campus students. Off-campus students have 5 years in which to
complete the program. The degree awarded is the same as the on-campus M.C.S. degree. Admissions procedures and forms can be found at Degree Admissions.
Certificate Program
The Certificate Program allows students to receive a
certificate in a specialized area of computer science. Each
certificate requires students to complete three courses (4 hours
each, a total of 12 hours). In addition, students are required to
maintain an overall GPA of 3.0 or higher for the sequence and
receive a letter grade of "B-" or higher in each course. One 4
hour course in a certificate area can be taken before admission to the program and
credit transferred if a letter grade of "B-" or higher is
received.
The certificate areas available are listed below. Admissions information and forms can be found on the Certificate Admissions page.
