In the Master of Science in Software Engineering program, students become experts in the latest software development theories and the fundamental engineering principles that support progressive software design. Programs of study focus on every aspect of the software engineering process, including design, testing, implementation, and maintenance.

Software products and information systems resistant to unauthorized intrusion or sabotage can only be obtained if security is made an inherent part of their design and construction. The Secure Computing specialization educates students on possible security imperfections in computers and networks and the principles and techniques used in building systems that are inherently resistant to...

Simulations are used in both civilian and military applications to provide training and explore novel scenarios. Computer and video games form one of the largest sectors of the entertainment industry, surpassing the film sector in total revenues. The development of simulations and games utilizes knowledge from several areas of computer science and software engineering. The Simulation and Game...

The Software Development specialization focuses on the knowledge required to design and build software products. Students can acquire information about design principles and techniques for various types of software products and also learn about broader aspects of software fundamentals as well as contextual application concerns for product areas.

The development or acquisition of software products involves considerable effort and expense. The Software Management specialization offers courses related to the quality, economic, and security aspects of software development or acquisition.

The Software Systems Engineering specialization prepares students to deal with technical and managerial issues related to the development of large software systems. Instead of dealing with detailed software design or construction or the project management related to the development of smaller software components, this specialization deals with issues concerned with the design, deployment, testing,...

The Software Testing and Reliability specialization focuses on the crucial skill of verifying the correct operation of software products and their failure-free performance over an extended period of time and under various operational conditions.
