No ifs, ands or buts -- business depends on technology. Perhaps that explains the high demand for computer science leaders. With an 18 percent projected job growth rate, many organizations (including Fortune 500 companies) need qualified computer science professionals to help them meet their large-scale software needs. These powerhouse organizations rely on prepared practitioners to deliver robust software architecture to help them increase scalability, reduce turnaround time, maximize reuse and minimize rework.

Franklin University's transfer-friendly online M.S. in Computer Science (MSCS) program will teach you to interface with organizational stakeholders and translate an evolving set of needs into high-level systems requirements. You'll learn how to integrate new systems within the broader hardware and software environment, too, as well as set software development standards. 

Through our practical, hands-on coursework you'll gain experience with leading architectural tools, such as UML and Patterns. And you'll be introduced to other critically needed skills, such as algorithm analysis, distributed systems, acceptance testing, and database design using Oracle and SQL Server.
