Master of Science in Computer Engineering
Computer engineering plays a crucial role in how the future is defined: choosing our Master of Science in Computer Engineering (MSCoE) program means choosing the possibility to be at the forefront of the world's leading technology firms for the rest of your career.
An increasingly more vital part of everyday life, computer engineering relates to how some of today's most innovative devices are created.
An academic path distinct from a graduate degree in computer science, which is the systematic study of algorithmic methods for representing and transforming information, computer engineering relates to the design and prototyping of computing devices and systems.
As a computer engineering graduate, you will have the necessary knowledge and experience to pursue cutting-edge projects in the area of hardware and computer development, networks and software creation.
Representing the ideal stepping stone for students with a solid background in mathematics, science and engineering, this master's degree in computer engineering will put you in the ideal position to progress into some of the region and the world's finest technology companies in sectors such as computer hardware, computer systems, mobile phones, communications, banking and computer games.

Admission Requirements
In addition to meeting the university's general graduate admission requirements, applicants must meet specific requirements of the MSCoE program. Applicants must hold a Bachelor of Science in Computer Engineering degree from an independently accredited university recognized by AUS. Degreed individuals in engineering fields or a quantitative science field that is closely related to the sought program may be considered on a case-by-case basis.
An applicant with a bachelor's degree in technology (or less than four years of university-level work) will not normally be admitted to our program.
Requirements and Course Descriptions
Students in this program choose from two options: a thesis option and a non-thesis (professional project) option. For more information on program requirements and course descriptions, please check our online catalogs.
A complete guide for preparing the thesis/project is available on the Office of Graduate Studies ilearn page.
