The following provides the degree options available for the Software Engineer (SWE) program:

  • Program Description

    Software engineering represents the fastest growing segment of software professionals, men and women who solve problems and issues in the development of mission-critical software to meet the needs of business and industry. The MS in Software Engineering (MSSWE) at Kennesaw State University prepares students for careers in this field by exposing them to real-time strategies and procedures that will give them a competitive edge in the market. All courses in the program are available both face-to-face and online, and students can decide which delivery mode is best for them for a particular course.

    The MS in SWE assumes that students have a significant background in computing. It both deepens and broadens their knowledge of computing, and prepares them for positions of more responsibility in the computing industry, as well as for further postgraduate studies. Students interested in the MS in SWE will typically have a first degree in computing. For those students who are interested in the program but do not have the required prerequisite knowledge, we offer the Graduate Certificate in SWE Foundations.

    If any of the following foundation courses in computing has not been taken in another program, these must be completed at the earliest . Other students may satisfy foundation courses by passing an exam during a designated time prior to the first semester of enrollment or by taking these courses.
