• Software engineering is the disciplined application of computer science knowledge to the analysis, design, development, evaluation, and evolution of software products.  Because software pervades economic and personal activity worldwide and because it is increasingly being used in critical applications, the software industry is under intense pressure to deliver quality software. 
  • Because software production remains a labor-intensive activity, the demand for large volumes of high-quality software translates into high demand for qualified software engineers.
  • MS in Software Engineering consists of a judicious balance of theoretical computer science foundations that afford graduates the means to remain abreast of developments in software engineering in the long term and practical applications that afford graduates the means to be operational in the short term.
