Computer Science Department Providing Latest Knowledge & Technology


Computer Science is a quick moving and rapidly evolving area of technology. One important part of our MS for Computer Professionals program is that we are always upgrading our curriculum and facilities, so that students will have direct experience with the latest and most up-to-date aspects of Computer Science and the computing profession.

In this last year we have added new courses in data mining, cloud computing, and mobile device programming; added three new Ph.D. CS faculty, and are now upgrading all of our labs and classroom computers.

This full upgrade will mean that students always have the latest in computers available in their classes and for lab projects.

Employers appreciate our students

According to Julie Stephens, Ph.D., Director of Curricular Practical Training Career Placement in our Computer Professionals Career Center, "One of the main reasons IT recruiters and employers continue hiring MUM intern students is that the students are well prepared, and ready to make meaningful contributions as soon as they begin work. The Computer Science Department's commitment to latest knowledge and latest technology is greatly appreciated by employers."
