Continuing your path in computer science

The Master of Science in computer science degree is intended to provide an advanced understanding of the technical fundamentals of computer science architecture, database, networking and software engineering.

We pair the fundamental knowledge of computer science with cutting edge technology — allowing students immediate application in the workplace. Faculty are always available and easy to approach for questions and help.  

Students learn cloud computing platforms such as AWS, and cybersecurity principles and practices in such courses as Network Penetration and Ethical Hacking. We offer several hands-on projects, extending/enhancing Linux OS functionality that students can apply to their jobs immediately.

We offer a flexible learning format, either an in class or online format to meet students’ needs.  Knowledge learned in our classrooms can be applied immediately. Our unique Christian environment allows us to not only teach knowledge but also provides students an opportunity to apply learned knowledge ethically.
