Degree Requirements
The degree consists of 30 graduate credit hours, as follows:
Preparatory Courses
The preparatory courses must be taken, unless waived based on previous college experience. These courses do not count toward the 30 required credit hours. Unless otherwise noted, CS700-level courses have all three CS600-level courses as prerequisites.

Electives
Choose five courses at the CS 700-level or above. One of the electives may be an approved graduate business (GB) course offered by the Sellinger School of Business and Management.
Web Programming Track
The web programming track involves taking three courses from the following:
Networking Track
The networking track involves taking three courses from the following:
Program of Study
As seen in the suggested course sequence below, CS 722 is the expected entry point for the program. Students interested in the networking track should take CS 730 as their first application elective, while students interested in the web programming track should take CS 712 as their first application elective. Students interested in taking only one course per semester complete the four courses of the first year in their first two years. An interactive webpage (www.cs.loyola.edu/grad-course-guide/index.html), which shows the expected offerings of the required and elective courses, is available to help plan a course of study.
Spring Term
- CS 7xx - Application Elective (if not taken in preparatory sequence)
- Elective
Notes:
* Students with limited background, but beyond that covered in the preparatory courses, should start with CS 700 the summer before taking CS 722 .
