• WVU's software engineering programs are unique, fully online programs that provide graduate-level software engineering expertise to individuals who are currently working in the software engineering and information technology industry. The programs serve both adult learners from the regional software engineering and information technology industry as well as distant learners taking the course from remote locations. Our typical student is a full-time software engineering professional who wishes to augment his or her work experience with additional academic enrichment.
  • Statler College offers two programs at WVU—a Master of Science in Software Engineering, consisting of five core courses that cover the five pillars of the software engineering life cycle and five to six advanced topic courses depending on the option selected (course work only, problem report or thesis), and a Graduate Certificate in Software Engineering, consisting of the same five core courses as the Master’s of Science in Software Engineering and a certificate paper. Once the Graduate Certificate is completed, the learner may apply to the MSSE.
