Master of Science - Software Development and Engineering

Software is the way users interact with computers, phones, and other devices like Apple watches, Siri, Google, and Alexa, smart fridges and cars, and so much more. Software developers are the people who build, code, maintain, update, and innovate all of the apps and software that make that technology work. Through the MS in Software Engineering, students will develop the skills essential to be a 21st century changemaker.

Small class sizes ensure individualized teaching and an informal cohort-based experience that turns students classmates into teammates and colleagues of the future. Learn the full software lifecycle, from management, design, programming, and development, through delivery, maintenance, and updating of software systems.

The program provides plenty of opportunities for students to practice their new knowledge through designing, building, and playing around with various apps. Outside of the classroom, there are countless other ways for students to hone their skills. Student clubs work together on cool programming projects, enter competitions, and come up with exciting app ideas together. Regular guest speakers provide insightful commentary on the current tech landscape and how to land the perfect job. And students will be immersed in a community that wants to see them excel.

Through the Design Factory Global Network, Pace University’s Seidenberg School participates in an exciting, global program through its NYC Design Factory—a program that sends students to countries like Geneva, Finland, Portugal, and Austria to collaborate with peers from other institutions to build real products for paying companies. This once-in-a-lifetime opportunity is unique to Pace University and offers an unforgettable experience and a wealth of stories for future job interviews.
