Program Description
The field of computer science is pervasive. The growing availability of relatively inexpensive high performance computing capabilities, the ever increasing memory capacities, and high speed networking have created a technology-driven restructuring of the way much of society and almost all professions now operate. Information, and its associated processing and transport, is the commodity upon which corporations are built and fortunes made. At the center of this revolution, making it happen, are those who study computer science. The Master of Science in Engineering (MSE) is a full-time day program offered by the Department of Computer Science. Students may be able to complete the program in as little as one year. Those interested in part-time evening study should refer to Engineering Programs for Professionals www.epp.jhu.edu.
