Overview

Worcester Polytechnic Institute’s Master of Computer Science (MCS) responds to the rising industry demand for high-level computing skills by offering an applied program that does not require applicants to have a prior computer science degree. The curriculum combines technical training with practical, real-world experience, enabling professionals to immediately apply new skills in their workplace. The MCS is an applied, terminal degree designed for those seeking to strengthen their computer science expertise, particularly for individuals who do not hold a bachelor’s degree in computer science but have an earned equivalent (such as a four-year undergraduate degree). It is suitable for current professionals seeking to expand their skill set or individuals aiming to pursue a career in computing. Distinct from a Master of Science in Computer Science, the MCS emphasizes applied aspects without offering research options, thesis work, or seminars. Each student completes a capstone project — a comprehensive evaluation of their computer science knowledge — often undertaken in teams to develop practical, career-relevant solutions. The program provides foundational training in programming, systems, and networks, preparing students to contribute effectively to the computing industry and achieve their professional goals.

Optional Practical Training (OPT)
Verify before applying

OPT and STEM OPT eligibility depend on maintaining F-1 status and on the program. A program counts as STEM only when its CIP code is on the official STEM list — not because its name sounds technical.
