Online Computational Science Engineering Degree :: Accredited Universities

The CSE Master's degree is a joint program between the Colleges of Computing, Sciences and Engineering.

Georgia Tech’s Master’s degree in Computational Science and Engineering (CSE) prepares students for careers in industry, government, and academia. Students will be well prepared for position in industry in areas such as engineering software systems, web technologies (e.g. search or analysis of social networks), software for consumer product and drug design, and financial engineering, to mention a few. Graduates will be well prepared for positions in government (e.g., national laboratories) and with government contractors in software and systems for modeling and simulation, systems integration, data mining and visualization, high performance computing, and computational modeling. Graduates will be well prepared for staff positions in academia involving research concerned with the development and application of computational models in engineering, the sciences, and computing.

The interdisciplinary CSE MS degree program is jointly offered by the colleges of Computing, Engineering and Sciences. Participating units from these colleges include the Computational Science and Engineering Division; Department of Biomedical Engineering; and schools of Aerospace Engineering, Civil and Environmental Engineering, Industrial and Systems Engineering, Biology, Chemistry and Biochemistry, and Mathematics.

The Department of Aerospace Engineering offers graduate programs leading to the Master of Science (thesis and non-thesis option) and Doctor of Philosophy degrees. Major areas of study include fluid dynamics; structural mechanics; flight mechanics and controls; flight test engineering; and design optimization. The Raspet Flight Research Laboratory, a unique university facility for graduate aeronautical teaching and research, is operated as an integral part of the department. Other department facilities consist of: a low speed wind tunnel; a water tunnel; a blow-down supersonic wind tunnel; and a universal testing machine laboratory. Members of the faculty provide primary leadership in computational simulation and numerical grid generation.

Entry Requirements

To be admitted to the Master’s program in Aerospace Engineering, the applicant must hold an undergraduate engineering degree from a University accredited by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET), or must take the General GRE (Graduate Record Examination) test. The applicant must have maintained a minimum 3.0 grade-point average on a 4.0 scale in his/her undergraduate courses.

International students wishing to be admitted must have a minimum TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language) score of 550 (paper-based) or 213 (computer-based).

Today’s tech-dependent world has numerous job opportunities for those interested in computer science careers. Rising software development needs for embedded systems and electronic components, a growing emphasis on cyber security, and an increase in cloud computing systems are just a few examples of industry trends driving demand for those with an advanced education in computer science.

But, how do you know a Master of Computer Science is right for you versus a degree in computer information systems or computer engineering? Computer science is the study of how computational processes and devices represent, store, and manipulate information. It involves the development, and analysis of algorithms, which are instructions (or software) that tell a computer how to solve particular problems correctly and efficiently. Colorado State University’s online computer science degree sits at the nexus of mathematics, science, and engineering, requiring mathematical reasoning and logic, scientific methodology for knowledge creation and refinement, and engineering techniques for building hardware and software. Find more on what computer science encompasses here.

Colorado State’s expert faculty provide a professional-level understanding of advanced topics in computer science for those in the field looking to enhance their skills for career advancement, as well as individuals interested in moving into the field.

Approximately 70% of CSU Master of Computer Science students have job offers upon graduation. Graduates are highly sought after by major high-tech, computer software, and aerospace companies, like Microsoft, IBM, Hewlett-Packard, Intel, Motorola, Raytheon, and Lockheed-Martin. In addition, employment opportunities are rapidly growing in small and medium sized companies.

Through CSU’s computer science curriculum, students benefit from faculty research and development experience by gaining specialized knowledge in the areas of:

Networking and security
Parallel computing
Software engineering
Artificial Intelligence and machine learning
Systems software
Database systems

You may start this computer science degree without being admitted to Colorado State University by earning one of our computer science certificates of completion in Computer Systems and Security, Embedded Systems, or Software Engineering. Certificates offer valuable credentials without the full commitment of a degree program. Credits required for each of the certificates are core courses for the degree, and will count toward the degree after formal admission, per University transfer policy. However, successful completion of the computer science courses or a certificate does not guarantee admission to the degree program.

Entry Requirements

The computer science (M.C.S.) degree requires applicants to have the following:

- A bachelor's degree from a regionally-accredited institution.

- A demonstrated understanding of computer organization/architecture, data structures and algorithms, program/software design methodology, theoretical foundations, and operating systems design concepts.

- A 3.0 GPA on all undergraduate coursework and a GPA of at least 3.2 in computer science and mathematics coursework.

- GRE test scores are recommended, but not required for admission.

Applicants should submit

- Transcripts

- Resume

- Statement of Purpose.

- TOEFL scores (only international applicants)

The minimum score for applicants is 92 on the internet-based test (580 on the paper-based test or 6.5 on the IELTS).
