Master of Science in Computer Science

The Master of Science in Computer Science (MCS) program is designed to appeal to a broad range of individuals. The program balances theory with practice, and equips the student with advanced knowledge and skills to design, implement, and evaluate computer-based systems to solve problems. The program provides the necessary flexibility to accommodate students with various backgrounds, including computer professionals who want to expand their understanding of computer science, as well as individuals whose undergraduate degrees are not in computer science but who wish to broaden their knowledge in computing. The program also provides the background necessary to continue the study of computer science at the doctoral level.

Students may choose a thesis option, which requires two semesters of study under the direction of a professor in which the student gains an understanding of an area of current research and contributes to it.

Program Requirements

VIU’s MCS program is generally completed within two years of full time study. It consists of five (5) core courses (15 credits), five (5) specialization elective courses (15 credits) and two (2) other elective courses (6 credits). The specialization allows a student to concentrate in a specific area for which there is demand and to achieve knowledge depth in that area.
