Master's Programs
The department offers three masters programs: Computer Science, Software Engineering, and Information Systems (CS). Undergraduate students in CS or IT at George Mason University may also enroll in a Bachelor's/Accelerated Master's Program as part of their BS degree. The department also offers additional graduate certificates in a variety of topics; course work toward the certificates can be used for credit toward various Masters programs.
Graduate classes are offered in the late afternoon and evening to accommodate the professionally employed students. The MS in Computer Science program is now offered with the option of a 100% online format. Financial aid in the form of graduate assistantships may be available for full- time degree-seeking students. Appropriate courses may be transferred, with advisor approval, into the degree program.
