Master of Science in Computer Science at Boise State University

Boise State University offers a Master of Science in Computer Science through its Computer Science Department. This program lasts for 2 years and has a tuition fee of USD 14,121. To apply for this course, students need to show their English language skills. The accepted tests for this requirement are IELTS and TOEFL. For admission, students should have a minimum CGPA of 3.0 on a 4.0 scale.

As a graduate student in the Computer Science (CS) department, you will enjoy:

• Small class sizes taught by respected faculty members.
• Opportunities to engage in advanced research.
• A friendly department environment where students and faculty often interact.

Each student is given a temporary advisor when they start. This advisor helps with course registration for the first semester. It is important for students to talk to different faculty members about their research interests to find what excites them. Students should choose a permanent advisor by the end of their first semester or by the second semester at the latest.

Students will work with their advisor to decide between a thesis or a project option. A thesis is a larger research effort worth six to nine credits, where students form and answer questions. A project involves creating a technological product, often software.

Students must complete 21-27 credits of graduate courses related to Computer Science. They choose courses with the help of their advisor and the graduate coordinator. Students can also take up to three credits for independent study and three credits for a Practicum (internship). These options need approval from the advisor, committee, and graduate program coordinator. For more information on forming a committee, see the next section.
