MASTER OF COMPUTER SCIENCE (MCS) PROGRAM

MCS Program will help students to develop enhanced application-oriented computer skills for the Computer Science majored bachelors. It also welcomes the students who have not majored in the Computer Science at the undergraduate level.
The MCS Program provides a low entrance barrier for non-Computer major bachelors to get into the field of Computer Science. WUV understands many bright bachelor degree students could not get into the Computer field from severe competitions in the big colleges. WUV provides a good opportunity to get into the Computer field if students have the desire to succeed.
MCS Program focuses on three aspects in the Computer field: Computer programming, Data Analytics, and Information Technology Infrastructure. Most Computer courses are accompanied with hands-on Computer labs. Some MCS courses provide Computer certification trainings in lab environment, especially for CompTIA Network+ and Security+ certificates. MCS will add more certification trainings such as Computer programming, webpage making, and Data Analytics in the future. MCS believes various professional certificates will greatly help graduates in securing a technical career.
A draft MCS Program curriculum is as follows. It is under development now and will be finalized by next Spring.
