Loyola College in Maryland
Loyola College in Maryland is a Jesuit Catholic university committed
to the educational and spiritual traditions of the Society of Jesus
and to the ideals of liberal education and the development of the
whole person. Accordingly, the College will inspire students to
learn, lead and serve in a diverse and changing world.
The Department of Computer Science
Emphasizing a practitioner orientation, the curricula are offered
for both the working or aspiring technology professional. Coursework
may be pursue on either a full- or part-time basis at
state-of-the-art facilities in Timonium and Columbia, Maryland. Most
courses are scheduled for late afternoon or early evening to
accommodate busy schedules.
Master of Science in Computer Science
The Master of Science in Computer Science (MSCS) develops
professionals who can author software-based computer solutions that
are reliable, efficient, economical, and timely for single-component
or small system problems. Upon completion, graduates are prepared to
analyze algorithms for space and time limits, properly build and
test asynchronous systems, and design and implement databases, among
other core competencies.
The MSCS degree includes the study of advanced algorithms, computer
networking, programming languages, operating systems, software
engineering, and database systems. Students choose courses in
object-oriented analysis, programming and design as well as
contemporary software engineering techniques. In addition to an
Independent Study Couse, courses in graphics, and human-computer
interaction are among the advanced courses available.
The Computer Science program includes six core and five elective
courses. A preparatory sequence of prerequisite courses is available
to individuals who require a foundation for graduate study.
Master of Science in Software Engineering
Professionals who obtain the Master of Science in Software
Engineering (MSSE) degree will gain advanced skills in project and
personnel management, modern analysis and design methods, and
contemporary quality assurance techniques. Students will have many
opportunities to develop these skills in project-based courses and
in their respective workplaces.
The process of developing and maintaining large-scale software-based
systems is complex. It involves detailed analysis, sophisticated
techniques and the knowledge of how the system interacts with other
components. Since software engineers are charged with this task,
they must be familiar with the fundamentals of computer science and
possess the technical and management skills in order to construct
complex software systems. The Software Engineering program also
requires eleven courses and offers a pre-requisite sequence for
individuals who require foundation skills and background.
