The Master of Science in Computer Science program is designed to serve a wide range of professional interests and thus takes a broad-based approach to practical computer applications. The curriculum emphasizes the relationship between computers and their areas of application. The program is designed for individuals interested in systems analysis and systems engineering, application software, software engineering, systems programming, data communications, microprocessors or computer graphics. Its curriculum is consistent with the recommendations of the Association for Computing Machinery.

Upon completion of the Master of Science in Computer Science program students will be able to demonstrate:

1. A functional knowledge of theory and design of high-level languages and applications in design and development of systems software.

2. Skill in conceptualization, organization, and development of algorithms, data organization and process optimization.

3. Mastery of fundamental concepts, terms, and procedures in computer science operations and problem-solving.

4. A thorough understanding of the major challenges associated with contemporary theory and design of assemblers, compilers and operating systems.

5. Facility in the use of appropriate team skills to effectively accomplish goals in the design of high-level languages and development of systems software.

6. Professional written communication skills through technology-mediated modalities.

7. Requisite technical and in-depth knowledge, skills and capabilities related to the architecture and operation of a variety of computer systems including microprocessors and large-scale computer systems.

Objectives
--------------

Specific objectives of this program provide students with a comprehensive background in:

CSU's Bachelor of Computer Science (Honours) offers students the opportunity to conduct research in an area of interest. Students can develop their knowledge in the fields of computer science, information technology, computer engineering or software engineering.

The Bachelor of Computer Science (Honours) is the starting point for you to enter into the exciting world of research in computer science and data analysis. The course is designed for students who have completed their bachelor degree in IT or computing and wish to further develop their programming and problem solving skills through research training.

Honours students will conduct a research project closely supervised by one or two experienced academic staff. In many cases, Honours students work closely with their supervisors in research teams.

Students will have the opportunity to learn computational approaches used in modern science and engineering and data / information processing applications in industry and the public sector. The course equips graduates with practical research and analytical skills

Most Honours students in this course are sponsored by a scholarship from the Faculty or University.

Entry Requirements

To be admitted into the course, prospective students need to indicate their likelihood of success through: previous studies, and other attainments and experience.

This course offers you as the student total choice over the topics you study for your masters award. It also specifically addresses industries need for students who have chosen to study at depth topics which conventional taught awards cannot in the same depth. A major feature of the award is therefore its research and commercial relevance at the edge of current and future technologies. The student population due to the diverse nature of topics will be drawn from all areas of engineering and computer science. At the end of the award you will emerge as a technology specialist and find yourself employable in the area that you have specialised.

Entry Requirements

ODU's Master of Engineering degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) will take your expertise to the next level. Our coursework stresses both theoretical and practical aspects of Electrical and Computer Engineering by combining the teaching and research expertise of the ECE faculty with additional research resources.

Old Dominion's ECE department has research labs focusing on Advanced Signal Processing in Engineering and Neuroscience, Applied Plasma Technology, Computer Vision, Cybersecurity, Communications and Networking, Medical Imaging, Diagnosis, and Analysis, and Systems research.

In addition, our ECE faculty work with various research centers of the University, which include the Applied Research Center, the Frank Reidy Center of Bioelectrics, the Laser and Plasma Engineering Institute, the Virginia Institute for Photovoltaics, and the Virginia Modeling, Analysis, and Simulation Center. We also have close ties to other research facilities such as NASA Langley Research Center and Jefferson Lab.

Entry Requirements

Applicants to the ECE program are expected to have:

- a B.S. degree in electrical engineering (EE) or computer engineering (CpE) from an accredited institution; and

- a minimum grade point average of 3.0 (on a 4.0 scale) in both the baccalaureate major area (EE or CpE) and overall.
Applicants with a GPA below a 3.0 may be considered for provisional admission, which may require additional prerequisite courses in addition to the graduate degree requirements.

Applicants with academic degrees in areas other than electrical and computer engineering will be considered. Those with degrees in math, physics, computer science, or other engineering fields are encouraged to apply.

Requires TOEFL score for non-native English speakers (ODU requires a score of 550 on the paper-based TOEFL, and a 79-80 on the iBT)
