"I give the program a lot of credit for giving me the confidence to step into this role. When you work for large organizations, you don’t get a lot of opportunity to deal with the whole system end-to-end; you only get put into one small part."
Tailored for busy schedules, these two-year programs provide the unique opportunity to pursue a master’s degree while continuing to work full-time. What’s more, you will receive the same Master’s Degree that a traditional, full-time graduate student at The University of Texas at Austin receives. Students are presented with the best the top ranked Cockrell School of Engineering has to offer: rigorous coursework that encompasses the latest advances and core fundamentals. It is the combination of challenging curriculum, immediately applicable tools, and national recognition that prepares tomorrow’s leaders for success while equipping them with an educational experience ranked among the finest in the nation.
The Software Engineering Program (MSE SE), offered by the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, is tailored to meet the demanding schedule of a software engineer. The program’s curriculum provides students with the ability to better analyze and design software systems through course offerings such as software requirements, architectural design, verification and validation, as well as security networks and the technology utilized to enhance these software engineering systems. Overall the program provides students with the knowledge and skills to deliver robust, advanced, on-time, and in-budget software systems for their organization.
Upon completion of all of the program requirements, a student is awarded a Master of Science in Engineering degree with a major in Electrical and Computer Engineering and a concentration in Software Engineering. The program is administered by the Center for Lifelong Engineering Education (CLEE).
