Two pathways, one degree<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Both routes end in the same M.S. in Computer Science and Engineering. Your undergraduate major decides where you start.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The M.S. in CSE is 30 credits:<\/strong> 24 credits of graduate coursework at the 60000 level, plus a 6-credit hands-on research project or thesis carried out with CSE faculty. A well-prepared student can finish in two semesters plus a summer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Courses and research in practice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Our research program in Computer Science and Engineering strives to solve some of the world\u2019s greatest challenges, using the power of computing while also striving to assess, in partnership with other disciplines, the impact of computing on human society. Notre Dame’s What Would You Fight For <\/em>series highlights three of these remarkable research programs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
