Computer Science

Today’s industry demands computer scientists with deep skill sets and an ability to remain always on the cutting edge. Graduates of our MSE program have both, due to their exposure to world-class research and their individualized, specialized training. A graduate degree in Computer Science from Hopkins not only will significantly improve not only the types of jobs for which you are qualified, but also your earning potential.

We are a research-centered computer science department, so the very latest research findings and techniques inform every facet of our comprehensive and flexible graduate program. For instance, MSE students can choose a program that features coursework exclusively. Courses are not strictly textbook based. Often, instructors who know the subject intimately and are deeply involved in research craft their courses to reflect the latest available knowledge and techniques. This ensures our students keep pace with an ever-changing field.

The principal criteria for financial aid are academic credentials, language and communication skills, and teaching performance and experience. Financial need is generally not considered, except in the awarding of tuition waivers. For incoming students, the academic credentials evaluation is based on grades, recommendation letters, mathematical background, GRE scores, and TOEFL/IELTS scores. For continuing students, progress in the academic program (grades, requirements satisfied, and research progress) is considered also.
