Overview

The Computer Science course of Rutgers University provides students with the knowledge and skills to hold administrative positions that require planning and evaluation of computer-based systems.

Because of the rapid rate of change in the field:

students must be well grounded in the fundamental aspects of computer science

be capable of learning new ideas by following the research and professional literature

by adapting independently to changes in approaches, languages, and system

Furthermore, they must have experience with computer projects of a realistic scale so as to develop confidence in their ability to think and work independently

Learning Goals

Computer Science comprises an increasingly broad set of topics, with deep connections to many areas of Science, Engineering, Social Science, etc. The Masters programme gives students an overall perspective of the field, its structure, its problems, and its close relationship to other domains. Students are expected to study at least one topic in some depth, and to report on it in a coherent essay.
