Master of Science in Computer Science FAQs

Yes, with OEd PostGrad, it is possible to get a Master’s degree in Computer Science without setting foot on our campus. Our online courses are accredited by the CHED and offer a challenging curriculum with the same number of credits earned as traditional courses. However, our online course offers greater flexibility for working professionals.

Our MSCS program is designed to be completed in two years. However, students may take up to five years to complete the course, depending on their schedule and learning pace.

Absolutely! A Master of Science in Computer Science in the Philippines is bound to open numerous opportunities. Postgraduate degrees typically help professionals qualify for higher positions and higher wages. Furthermore, an MA qualifies you to PhD programs, which can help further advance your education and career.

Although both fields deal with computers, there is a major difference between IT and computer science. A Master in Information Technology deals with the management of computers and networks of an organization. Meanwhile, an MS in Computer Science focuses more on the design of computers and computer software.

This course deals with advanced subject matter that requires pre-requisite knowledge of computer systems and computer programming. So, a BS in Computer Science or a related course is recommended. Non-CS or IT graduates are welcome to apply but they are expected to have foundational knowledge either through professional experience or pre-requisite courses.
