GRADUATE PROGRAMS

SVU offers three graduate programs: Master of Science in Computer Science, Master of Science in Computer Engineering, and Master of Business Administration.
Master of Science in Computer Science ( MSCS )
The MSCS program provides students with a strong theoretical background and practical experience in keeping current with the high tech trends and state-of-the-art technologies in Silicon Valley. Special topics are offered to introduce the latest developments and issues in both academic research and industry application areas. State-of-theart hardware equipment and software tools currently used by most companies in Silicon Valley are used in the class.
