Computer Scientists build software systems, drive progress in artificial intelligence, across nearly every modern business sector in our economy. Computer Scientists are employed by hospitals, pharmaceutical manufacturers, financial and trading firms, sports teams, marketing agencies, and of course, tech companies. Glassdoor routinely ranks various software developer / computer science careers among the very top best jobs in America, including Enterprise Architects, Mobile and Software Engineering, along with language specific careers focused on Java, C++, C# and web technologies.
Our Master of Science (MS) in Computer Science degree is a 30-credit program with course work in Theory of Computation, Operating Systems, Computer Architecture, Networks, Machine Learning and Database Systems, Full-time students will complete their degree in two years, however students may work towards the degree part-time as well. Courses are delivered as a combination of online, hybrid, and evening in-seat format.
Current Ramapo students in Computer Science, Mathematics, Bioinformatics, or Data Science may also be eligible to complete the 4+1 program and earn their M.S. in their 5th year at Ramapo.
