Computer science ms degree.
Stanford School of Engineering
Get Started
In the Stanford Computer Science Master's degree , you will complete coursework covering the fundamental aspects of computer science and deepen your expertise in at least one specialized area of study.
If you want to pursue the degree on a part-time basis, so as not to interrupt your career, you can enroll in as few as one course per quarter.
For added flexibility, you can take courses online or in-person on Stanford’s campus. Each quarter, numerous computer science and other engineering courses are available online. While most specializations within the computer science degree require attending some in-person classes, you can complete the Artificial Intelligence, Information Management and Analytics, and Systems Specializations entirely through online coursework. (Note that students interested in earning the master's degree part-time or online must reside in the United States.)
If you want more flexibility than the part-time master's degree, you can apply to take individual courses or pursue a graduate certificate without being formally admitted to Stanford master’s degree program. Choose from many options, including Foundations in Computer Science , Artificial Intelligence , Cybersecurity , Visual Computing , Software Systems , and Advanced Software Systems . Upon successful completion of each course, you will receive academic credit and a Stanford University transcript.
If you later choose to apply and are admitted into a master's degree program at Stanford, you may apply up to 18 units towards the master's degree (pending department approval).
Not sure which of these credentials is right for you? Compare our graduate certificate vs. master’s degree .
How long it will take.
To earn the Master of Science in Computer Science Degree, you must complete 45 units.

For degree requirements , please review either the department's Guide to the MSCS Program Sheet or Stanford Bulletin . See the department's FAQs page .

While this degree can be completed online, it depends on your program plan and area of focus. Most courses in the Computer Science department are offered only on campus. Specific online course offerings depend heavily on your program plan, area of focus, and the online course offerings for any given academic quarter. Students who are outside the US cannot pursue the master's degree online.

A southcentral Wisconsin school district has made national headlines in recent days over video of a graduation ceremony that shows a man pushing the school district superintendent away before he can shake hands with his daughter .
The footage from Baraboo High School continues to provoke speculation and commentary with some calling the incident racist. It's also not the first time district officials and students have been embroiled in controversy.
This is what we know so far about the incident and other issues in the Baraboo School District.
A local broadcast of Baraboo High School's May 31 graduation ceremony recorded a father of a student pushing District Superintendent Rainey Briggs out of the way as the man's daughter received her diploma and shook hands with other district officials. The student's father, who is not being named by the Journal Sentinel to protect the student's identity, is white; Briggs is Black.
A citation from the Baraboo Police Department shows that the father was charged with disorderly conduct and is required to make an August appearance in the Sauk County Circuit Court. A judge has also ordered the man to have no contact with Briggs after a temporary restraining order was filed.
It's unclear. There has been controversy in the school district in recent months. School board president Kevin Vodak is facing a recall effort , with organizers saying he's misused taxpayer dollars by increasing salaries for Briggs and another district administrator.
Vodak was also onstage for the graduation. The man who interrupted the ceremony did not prevent his daughter from shaking Vodak's hand.
Others, such as State Rep. Francesca Hong, D-Madison, have described the incident as a racist act . That characterization has been challenged by many community members.
Vodak, who has been on the school board for 23 years, has been accused of misuse of taxpayer dollars — specifically salary increases for Briggs and business services director Yvette Updike — and conflicts of interest regarding the administration. District residents are also upset over high staff turnover.
In response to complaints about Briggs' and Updike's salary, the district presented data that showed their pay ranked among the lower third of administrators in comparable roles in nearby districts. Briggs' salary is second lowest among 15 district superintendents in the Badger Conference.
Besides the salary increases, the recall petition also listed unspecified "socializing" between unnamed board members and Updike and highlighted two contracts between the district and separate consulting firms, including one owned by Briggs, according to Wiscnews .
Vodak’s three-year term began in 2022 and he is up for re-election to the board in 2025.
Yes, the district received substantial backlash in 2018 when a photo of several male students seemingly giving the Nazi salute while posing for a prom photo went viral.
The district quickly condemned the photo after it drew international attention and issued a public apology .
More than 5,000 people signed a petition calling on the district to suspend the students . None of the 60 students involved in the photo were punished. The district said the students' behavior was protected by the First Amendment .
Baraboo is a city of about 12,500 people near Wisconsin Dells in southcentral Wisconsin. It is the county seat of Sauk County.
