Program Director
The Master of Science in Computer Science program at St. Mary’s prepare students to manage a software development project from analysis, design, implementation, testing and maintenance to management of quality, budgets, deliverables and deadlines. This program requires two engineering (EG) courses. The program is designed to provide a deep understanding of the hardware and software components of computer systems and the following:
- Hardware organization
- Data communication and databases
- Software requirements analysis
- Software design methodologies
- Software implementation and testing
Professors in these programs have expertise in:
- Artificial intelligence,
- Computer security/cybersecurity,
- Game development and simulation, and
- Programming languages.
