The University of Bridgeport Master of Computer
Science program is designed to prepare students with
a strong mathematical background for entry into the computer science
field at an advanced level or further study leading to a doctorate degree.
Today's IT environments are extremely complex and dynamic,
often ruled by change - including change that is unauthorized,
inadvertant
as well as plannned. The ability to control and manage change
in order to maintain certain security and service
goals is key to an
organizination's success and can result in greater staff efficiencies
and lower costs. Information is the most important resource any
organization controls.
