Master of Science in Informatik (M.S.)

Program Overview

The Masters degree is based on 10 courses (30 credit hours). A student may do a thesis, but this is optional. There are no comprehensive examinations. Three of the 10 courses are required (core courses). The other seven courses can be selected based on consultation with the student's advisor. Two of these courses can come from a different department.

Focus your study on such topics as computer security and information assurance, database and information retrieval systems, software engineering and systems, biomedical computing, digital media and computer graphics, networking and mobile computing, computer architecture, pervasive computing and embedded systems, machine intelligence, robotics, and algorithms and theory.
