The Master of Science in Computer Science program prepares students for a wide variety of careers in computing and related industries, and for advanced study toward a Ph.D degree. We offer three specializations: Software Engineering, Computing for Life Sciences, and the newly added Computing in Business concentration.

Department faculty and students are engaged in first-class research projects, many funded by grants from government or industry. Students may collaborate with SFSU's Center for Computing for Life Sciences, or several specialized laboratories which provide opportunities to work with faculty and students from other SFSU departments and industry. A small number of nonresident tuition waivers are available for outstanding international and out-of-state students.

All of this is available to students in one of the most beautiful cities in the world.
