The M.S. in Computer Science degree program at Creighton University has an innovative curriculum. It was completely redesigned in 1996 to better accommodate the needs of the local business community. In computer science, the product development cycle is getting shorter and shorter. In response to this, we made our program "free format". This provides the student the opportunity to tailor the curriculum to their individual needs. A comprehensive examination, however, ensures that a Creighton graduate is well prepared to meet the challenges of the real world.
