软件工程理学硕士（MSSE）计划是俄亥俄州首例此类计划。该课程是软件工程研究生证书课程的后继课程，适用于软件工程，计算机工程，电气工程，计算机科学或信息管理领域的从业专业人员以及全日制学生。该计划向学生介绍软件系统工程的最新和最佳实践。一个显着的特点是它强调软件工程的体系结构，设计，质量，管理和经济学方面。学生从头到尾完成一个项目，学习特定可交付成果的需求和开发生命周期。还涵盖了关键的管理问题，例如风险评估，项目计划和市场分析。该计划向学生展示先进领域中的新技术发展以及如何在工作场所应用他们的知识。毕业生
The Master of Science in Software Engineering (MSSE) program is the first of its kind in Ohio. The program is the successor to the Graduate Certificate Program in Software Engineering and is intended for both practicing professionals, as well as full-time students in the areas of software engineering, computer engineering, electrical engineering, computer science, or information management. The program introduces students to current and best practices in the engineering of software systems. A distinguishing feature is its emphasis on the architecture, design, quality, management, and economics aspects of software engineering. Students take a project from start to completion, learning the requirements of specific deliverables and the development life cycle. Critical management issues, such as risk assessment, project planning, and market analysis, are also covered. The program exposes students to new technological developments in an advancing field and how to apply their knowledge in the workplace. Graduates meet the demands of industry and address the needs of information technology professionals, in general, and software engineers, in particular. Students in the MSSE program may elect a thesis option or a non-thesis option. All students, and particularly those intending to pursue a doctoral degree, are encouraged to select the thesis option. Students are required to take 24 credit hours of course work and 6 hours of thesis, for a total of 30 credit hours.<br>Non-thesis option students
