True or false?

Q: A degree in computer science prepares you only for a technical career.

A: False! Graduates of our Master of Computer and Information Technology program, which has transformed into the Master of Applied Science in Computer Science program, have taken on a variety of roles across over 23 industries.

Their roles range from Decoration Engineer at LEGO to Software Engineer/Game Developer at BIG Games to Technology Analyst at the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.

Our application for Fall 2026 admission to the online Master of Applied Science in Computer Science (MAS-CS) degree closes on May 18, 2026.

Engineers must be trained to stop, think, and recognize that every design decision has human consequences.

Professor Gus Hurwitz's course focuses on the accountability of making technical decisions within the greater context of societal impact.

The “Technology, Ethics, & the Legal Landscape” course is available to students in all of our online master's degree programs.

Apply by May 18 to start classes in Fall 2026.

Where does a master’s in computer science fit into the current labor market?

The World Economic Forum has periodically surveyed over 1,000 executives globally across industries to identify major shifts in global labor markets. More than 70% of respondents believe that AI and big data, networks and cybersecurity, and technological literacy are the top three skills on the rise between now and 2030, with predicted increased importance for each of these sets of skills.

As AI ignites role changes and reskilling, employees must stay ahead of the curve and invest in learning and development to maintain marketability.

The online Master of Applied Science in Computer Science (MAS-CS) at Penn Engineering allows professionals without a computer science background to build technical foundations and supplement their core classes with concentrations in Artificial Intelligence, Cybersecurity, Data Science, Engineering Entrepreneurship, and Software Systems.

As AI increases the need for subjective decision-making and judgment skills, the MAS-CS Online prepares our students/graduates to work collaboratively, assess efficiency, and own innovative creations.

Our fall 2026 deadline is coming up in less than two weeks on May 18th. Apply today!
