Overview

Why Computer Science Graduate Study?

Graduate programs in computer science at the University of South Carolina provide courses of study that emphasize the acquisition of advanced computer science knowledge, mastery of computing techniques, and student involvement in research initiatives and projects. Computer science research projects are supported by government agencies or are collaborative efforts with local industries.

While software and hardware development are integral to one another at the advanced research and design levels, the emphasis of our computer science programs is software. Students whose interests lean more towards hardware aspects may want to consider our computer engineering graduate program.
