A Master's Degree Program in Computer Science will be available at Hunter College beginning Spring 2018!

Master's-level graduates with both an understanding of the theoretical foundations of computing and expertise in its applications are much in demand in industry as well as doctoral programs in computer science and related disciplines. The Masters Degree Program in Computer Science at Hunter College bridges the gap between a traditional undergraduate degree and either path for a student's future. With the penetration of computer science into almost every field, students with non-computer science majors but with strong analytical skills and inter-disciplinary interests are also encouraged to apply. Hunter College, recognizing the need for an affordable, conveniently-located program in this field, introduced this master's degree offering in Spring 2018.
