Graduate Degrees

The Master of Science in Engineering (M.S.E.) in engineering science with a software engineering concentration offers specialized courses founded on the fundamentals and principles of software engineering. The program provides the knowledge and skills needed to work as a software engineer or software task leader on both large and small projects using either agile methodologies or formal Capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMI) approaches. The program addresses major software development methodologies, techniques, tools and processes for both developing and managing software projects. The curriculum is based on the Software Engineering Body of Knowledge (SWEBOK) under the leadership of the IEEE Computer Society. Each course will place an emphasis on applied assignments and projects that are relative to the student's workplace.

The M.S.E. in engineering science with a concentration in software engineering is only available through distance learning. The degree program is supported through online courses available from the Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering.

1. Students must complete a total of 30 credit hours equaling 10 courses to earn an M.S.E.
2. Students must complete a three-credit-hour applied project (CSE 593), three credits of applied engineering mathematics and three credits of engineering management/business.
3. A culminating event is required and will be identified by the student's advisory committee. It could be a final examination or the final report for an applied project.
4. Additional requirements may exist for some academic units.

Applicants must submit:

1. The Graduate College online application.
2. Applicants must have earned a B.S. in computer engineering, software engineering or a related field.
3. A minimum grade point average of 3.00 (on a 4.00 scale) in the last 60 credit hours of the undergraduate transcript (or for the last 12 units of the post-baccalaureate transcript).
4. GRE scores are not required.
