Software Engineering Degree Concentration
Master of Science in Computer Science - Concentration in Software Engineering
If you are a computer science engineer, then earning a Master of Science in Computer Science with a concentration in Software Engineering (MSCS-SE) can help you gain a competitive edge in pursuing increasing levels of responsibility in your career. Employment of computer software engineers is expected to grow by 38 percent through the year 2016 as organizations design and develop new computer software systems, and incorporate new technologies in a rapidly growing range of applications in order to maximize the efficiency of their computer systems.*
The tasks performed by software engineers evolve quickly, reflecting new areas of specialization or changes in technology, as well as the preferences and practices of employers. The MSCS – Software Engineering degree program is designed to provide students with an understanding of operating systems and networking, as well as knowledge of computer system architecture and the software system engineering process. Courses in this degree program are taught by instructors with applicable experience in the field of software engineering, so you can absorb relevant perspectives, professional insights and a real-world understanding of software engineering.
The MSCS-SE degree program can give you the skills necessary for the organization and control of software development efforts using industry-current software engineering techniques to successfully deliver software systems requiring multi-person effort. You can learn to apply the principles and techniques of computer science, engineering and mathematical analysis to the design, development, testing and evaluation of the software and systems that can optimize the performance of computers in their many applications.
When you graduate, you can pursue career opportunities such as:
- Software Engineering Manager
- Software Engineer - Application Development
- Application Engineer
- Software Development Project Manager
- Application Development Project Manager
- Software Development Analyst
- Software Development Integration Consultant
- And many others
The MSCS in Software Engineering Degree Concentration includes the following CTU Academic Certificates:
- Computer Systems Architecture
- Software Development
