core courses provide an advanced understanding
of theoretical and applied computer science,
which allows the student to begin exploring
the specialization areas. It prepares students for

The program consists of two core courses and a

Approved courses of 24 credits in the major

The graduate program should embody sufficient flexibility to fulfill the requirements of either an
academic degree (Breadth-Based) obtained in preparation for further graduate study or a terminal
professional degree (Depth-Based). The discipline of Computer Science has matured enough to mark
distinction between academic and professional programs. However, the concept of an utterly terminal
program is not widely accepted in the field. All Computer Science academic programs should provide
the possibility of additional study in the field The proposed program is intended to establish an
integrated breadth and depth based curriculum model to ensure that the common aspects of various
potential masters programs in Computer Science are captured. This curriculum is implemented within
foursemester time. A project/thesis work may be unified with students chosen depth oriented specialties.
