Master of Science - Computer Science - Big Data Systems - Software Engineering

The big data systems concentration under the MS in computer science degree program is designed for graduate students who want to pursue a thorough education and research in the area of big data systems.

The goal of this concentration is to provide students the knowledge, skills and advanced research expertise in designing scalable (parallel, distributed and real-time) systems for acquiring, storing, processing and accessing large-scale heterogeneous multisource data and in using analytical tools to mine information from the data.

Graduates will be able to choose and deploy the appropriate data management processing and analysis systems with a suitable structured or unstructured data model that a particular task and domain application needs. This concentration program will provide a competitive advantage to secure employment as there is a growing need for data scientists and engineers who can architect, implement and manage large data systems.
