Graduate Degrees

• MSE degree in Software Engineering
• MS degree in Software Systems

Curriculum

• The masters degree curriculum is constantly under revision to keep pace with changes in software engineering.
• Students who continue to be active in the program are effectively protected from any delay in graduation that would otherwise be caused by these changes.
• 30 semester hours will be required for the degree.
• At least 18 hours must be in software engineering; at least 12 of these must be at the 600 level.
• See  http://engineering.mercer.edu/academics/gradpgms_sess.htm for the current official degree requirements.
• Currently required courses are:
• Object-Oriented Design II SSE 554
• Object Oriented Project Methods SSE 657
• Design Problems and Solutions SSE 658
• Design Quality and Maintenance SSE 659
• Students may be required to take one or more of the following courses, depending on their computing background, such as Object-Oriented Design I SSE 550.
• It is essential that you already be able to do multi-module programming in a modern high order language.  You need not know any specific language, and you do not need to know object orientation.
