Computer Engineering – M.E. & M.S.

Whether you're looking to increase your salary, earn the opportunity to work on higher-level projects, or need to keep up with the pace of innovation, CSU's computer engineering master's degree can help you get there.

The M.E. and M.S. programs are coursework-only degrees that focus on a wide range of hardware and software applications. Heavy emphasis is placed on:

• Computer system design and exploration
• Architecture of mobile and warehouse-scale computers
• Network programming
• Internet protocols

Study with expert faculty

Colorado State University is currently home to a National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering Research Center (ERC) in Extreme Ultraviolet Laser Technology and a partner in an ERC in Collaborative Adaptive Sensing of the Atmosphere. NSF ERCs are highly prestigious institutes that focus on research of national and global importance. The NSF's recognition of CSU is a testament to the caliber of research our faculty produce and bring into coursework.

As a student in the online master's in computer engineering, you will study with the same faculty who teach on campus and benefit from the knowledge gained through their research. The computer engineering master’s degree you earn online is the same degree on-campus students earn, but with the flexibility to study from wherever you are.
