Evening Computer Science MS Degree Program
The Department of Computer Science offers a path through the Computer Science M.S. degree program by taking only evening classes (5 pm or later), focussing on data management and networks. The following twelve courses are offered in the evening on a three-year rotation schedule with two courses offered each semester such that it is possible to satisfy the program requirements and graduate within three years by taking a suitable selection of ten of these evening classes. The rotation schedule can be found below. This program should be particularly interesting for working professionals.
