Overview
Students pursuing the Master of Science in Computer Science choose from one of two concentrations, Computer Science or Computer Networks. The Computer Science concentration provides significant flexibility allowing the student to direct their studies towards the special interest area they find most compelling.
Our Computer Science - Computer Science program at California State University East Bay features small classes that allow for close contact between students and faculty. Many graduate classes are offered in the late afternoon or early evening, making it possible for working students to attend.
Students interested in the M.S. degree program in Computer Science should contact the Computer Science Graduate Coordinator.
