M.S. in Computer Science:
Databases, Security and Privacy
The MS/CS concentration in Databases, Security and Privacy prepares you to build secure privacy-preserving database applications. Such applications may well be part of three-tier distributed applications, perhaps using Web services and service-oriented architectures (SOA).
If you follow this study plan, you will graduate with:
- a Master of Science in Computer Science,
- a Graduate Certificate in Databases Management Systems, and
- a Graduate Certificate in Enterprise Security and Information Assurance.
