Master of Science - Software Engineering

Today, businesses, government and infrastructure are becoming more dependent on secure software. There is increasing recognition that vulnerabilities in the design or code of software can jeopardize intellectual property, consumer trust and business operations and services. Stevens’ cutting-edge program is one of the first in the word to implement the Master of Software Assurance Curriculum. The software assurance curriculum was co-authored by Stevens faculty, sponsored by the Department of Homeland Security and approved by Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) and the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). The software engineering program at Stevens addresses the increasing need in the workplace for software engineering professionals. The program is designed for recent college graduates or working computing professionals who want to expand their knowledge and enhance their careers in the field of modern software development. Our master's graduates can successfully participate in and lead both traditional and agile software development projects. They have the in-depth understanding of the tools and techniques to elicit and analyze requirements, architect and implement systems, validate and verify the implementations (including COTS), and quantitatively manage the entire process to produce safe and secure systems.
