Program Overview

MSCS Course Details & Semester Outlines

The program is of 2-year duration and is offered on Fridays. It requires 33 credit hours to complete, which consists of 9 courses (27 credit hours) and a Thesis/Research Project (6 credit hours). Although we emphasize and encourage students to undertake Thesis/Research Project, they can take two courses in lieu of the Thesis/Research Project in specific domains.
