Advance your career with a Master of Science in Computer Science at California State University East Bay. Explore hands-on learning and international support!
California State University East Bay's Department of Computer Science offers graduate study leading to the degree of Master of Science in Computer Science. This program is designed to extend the student’s knowledge in a broad manner beyond the baccalaureate degree major in Computer Science. It will both (1) deepen general understanding of theoretical principles and (2) provide exposure to important applications of Computer Science such as security, software engineering, database, networking, and others. This approach is especially important in Computer Science, where training in specific languages and systems and on specific machines is transitory, as these languages, systems, and machines evolve. In contrast, many of the principles will last, and generally apply to a wide variety of specializations within the field. The breadth of subject material is important as many students will have a number of different job classifications in their working lives. Students pursuing the Master of Science in Computer Science can choose from one of two concentrations, Computer Science or Computer Networks. The Computer Science concentration provides significant flexibility allowing the student to direct their studies towards the special interest area they find more compelling. The Computer Networks concentration provides the opportunity to focus on topics in Computer Networking.
