The 15-course (45-credit) Agile M.S. in Computer Science begins with a 5-course introductory sequence followed by advanced CS coursework and electives. The degree can be completed full time in 2 years, or part time at a pace that makes sense for you. Part-time students select 1-2 courses per semester in consultation with their program director.
