Specializations
Specializations are advanced study opportunities that allow focus on a particular area of computer science. Specializations fall under the Plan II option. With a specialization, students take 15 hours in the area of specialization (see each specialization below for details) and 21 hours of other computer science courses, for a total of 36 hours. We presently offer M.S. specializations in the following four areas:
- Bioinformatics
- Graphics
- Parallel and Distributed Computing
- Software Engineering
A certificate in Computer Forensics is also available. This certificate requires some extra courses in Justice Sciences.
