Thank you for expressing interest in the Master of
Science in Computer Science Program offered by the
University of Indianapolis in Athens.
The program is designed to serve a diverse
audience with a variety of personal and career goals, including recent
college graduates aiming to acquire a more robust theoretical and
technical background in computer science and software engineering,
professionals from the industry planning to acquire a basis that will
allow them to further their careers and nontraditional students in
search of personal enrichment.
Our objective in this highly demanding program is
to offer our graduates a strong background in computer science,
enabling them to tackle complex theoretical and practical problems in
both industry and academia.
Our difference from other programs is that the focus is mainly on the
principles that govern the design, implementation and practical
applications of computing rather than simply on the specific options
offered by currently available commercial tools.
Although a direct link of studies to the industry
is not a graduation requirement, the department both encourages and
supports this option. Students may choose to combine their thesis work
with a real life project of an affiliated industrial partner. In this
way students may pursue
- financial support prior to graduation and
- immediate employment at the time of graduation.
We hope that you will find the M.Sc. in Computer
Science an interesting and challenging program and we look forward to
discussing our program with you in the context of your own background,
interests and goals.
