Program Description
Software engineering is the computer science discipline concerned with developing large applications. Software engineering covers not only the technical aspects of building software systems, but also management issues.
The SMU masters degree program in software engineering offers a balanced approach to management issues, such as directing programming teams, scheduling and budgeting, and technical expertise necessary to succeed in this critically important field. Many of the courses are based upon those proposed by the Software Engineering Institute, specifically founded by the Department of Defense to assist in the development of a sound foundation for this rapidly emerging field.
Centering on the problems of working professionals in this field, the SMU program in software engineering serves the needs of both the full-time and part-time student.
