Overview

Computer science animates our world, driving knowledge creation and innovation that touches every aspect of our lives, from communications devices to the latest medical technology.

With significant strengths in the three core areas of computer science—computer systems, theory and artificial intelligence— the Computer Science program at University of Virginia fosters highly productive collaborations that have led to breakthroughs in cyber-physical systems, cybersecurity, machine learning and high-performance computing among other areas. We are applying these discoveries to address some of the most critical societal challenges of the 21st century, in fields such as healthcare, neuroscience and sustainability.

An M.S. degree requires a minimum of 31 graded, graduate-level credits. Courses taken in CS must be 6000 or above to fulfill this requirement. 6 credits of non-CS 5000 level courses may be used to count towards the MS degree. Courses must be approved by the advisor and the Master’s Program Graduate Director (MGPD).
