The courses taken to complete the M.S. in Computing are typically offered by the MSCS Department, the College of Engineering, and the Graduate School of Management. The flexibility of the program comes from the following considerations:

As part of the total requirements for the degree, students are permitted to take six semester hours of graduate course work in any department at Marquette University.
The Computing Director can approve the inclusion of additional courses from any department that meet an individual's needs.

Course selections must meet the requirements for breadth, primary, and secondary concentrations that are found in the description of the Computing program in the Graduate Bulletin. Consult with your adviser for guidance on course selection.

Note: Credits may be transferred from outside Marquette University as governed by the rules of the Graduate School.

The following is the list of approved courses organized according to academic departments. Other courses can be approved for your program with the consent of your adviser.

Additional Courses offered in the Graduate School of Management:

Business has come to increasingly rely on information systems and mathematical modeling and analysis. Marketing relies heavily on e-commerce and analytics of the marketplace. Economics has for many years explored econometrics and used modeling and simulation to do analysis and forecasting. Operations and supply chain management have built on operations research methods and databases to provide analytics and business intelligence. Human Resources uses computer databases and mathematical modeling for analysis and forecasting.

The following courses are appropriate to develop a better understanding of the business context and the applications of computing to business in analysis and decision support. Before taking these courses the student and the advisor are responsible to assure that the program of study meets the requirements for breadth, primary, and secondary concentrations of study that are found in the description of the Computing program in the Graduate Bulletin.
