Master of Science in Computer Science (MSCS)
Background Preparation
Students admitted into the MSCS degree program are required to have the following background preparation. A student with any deficiency is required to clear it by either (1) taking the course at NPU and earning a grade of at least C- or higher or (2) taking and passing a proficiency exam on the subject. The student must clear all deficiencies before attempting to enroll in graduate level courses. 1. Mathematics and English/Communication:
MSCS Curriculum
A minimum of 36 semester units of graduate study are required for the MSCS program. A maximum of five (5) 4xxG courses (400 level courses with a G designation) are allowed to count towards graduation credits. The student must meet prerequisite requirements when taking any of the following courses. I. Area of Concentration A student must select an area of concentration and complete the courses required for the concentration area as listed below. This is to ensure the student's competence in a selected area. As new courses are also offered between publications of school catalogs, the students are advised to refer to the "Concentration Area Course Tables" published with each release of the semester class schedule to select courses for meeting the concentration area requirements. Area A. Database Technology (The student must also have background in CS457G database Design and CS470/G Computer Networks.) CS503 Advanced Computer Networks CS506 Operating System Design CS540 Database Administration CS547 Advanced Database Design and Development Area B. Computer Networks and Network Security (The student must also have background in CS457G database Design and CS470/G Computer Networks.) CS503 Advanced Computer Networks CS506 Operating System Design CS510 UNIX/Linux System Programming CS515 Linux/UNIX Network Programming CS535 Network Security Fundamentals Area C. Internet Technology and Digital eBusiness Systems (The student must also have background in CS457G database Design and CS470/G Computer Networks.) CS480G Java Programming and Internet Applications CS503 Advanced Computer Networks CS506 Operating System Design CS526 .NET Web Programming CS532 Advanced Java Programming Area D. Embedded Engineering (The student must also have background in CS457G database Design and CS470/G Computer Networks.) CE450G Fundamentals of Embedded Systems CS503 Advanced Computer Networks CS506 Operating System Design CE521 Real-time Systems and Programming CE528 Embedded Systems in VxWorks and Windows CE Environment Area E. Bioengineering (The student must also have background in CS457G Database Design and CS470G Computer Networks. The student is also encouraged to take IT510 to gain practical skills required in bioengineering projects.) BE450G Introduction to Bioengineering BE510 Biometrics and Computer Aided Detection (CAD) Technology BE515 Bioinformatics Methodologies II. Courses for Breadth of Study (minimum 6 units) The student is required to take at least 6 units in graduate coursework outside the chosen concentration area. The courses may be at 400 level with a "G" designation or 500 level and above. The student must observe the limits on the number of 400 level courses with a "G" designation. III. Electives The student may elect graduate-level courses in any discipline, in or outside the chosen concentration area, to meet the elective requirements. Required elective course: CS453G Compiler Design Credit earned from taking CS470G and/or CS457G to meet the background requirements for the concentration areas can be counted as electives.The student must observe the limits on the number of 400 level courses with a "G" designation. MSCS Total Requirements (36 units) |
