Franklin University M.S.-Computer Science Designated a "Best Buy"
Columbus, OH (PRWEB) September 17, 2013 -- Franklin University is proud to announce its online M.S. Computer Science (MSCS) has again been ranked by GetEducated.com as a "Best Buy" for students seeking a high quality, low-cost online degree. A GetEducated "Best Online University" affordability ranking indicates that an online master's program has been independently reviewed, compared to its peers in a comprehensive national survey, and found to offer one of the best values in online graduate education for technology students nationwide.
This year’s ranking is based on a national survey of 77 regionally accredited universities that offer 115 different online master's in computer science and IT. The survey covered a wide range of computer science majors, including information systems, database mining, information assurance and technical communication. The rankings highlight the 45 best affordable online degrees in this field.
Franklin’s MSCS Program teaches students how to interface with organizational stakeholders and translate an evolving set of needs into high-level systems requirements. Students learn how to integrate new systems within the broader hardware and software environment, too, as well as set software development standards.
Through Franklin’s practical, hands-on coursework, students gain experience with leading architectural tools, such as UML and Patterns, as well as other critically needed skills such as algorithm analysis, distributed systems, acceptance testing, and database design using Oracle and SQL Server.
In addition, Franklin’s MSCS curriculum is regularly reviewed by an advisory board strongly represented by Fortune 500 firms which means that skills learned at Franklin are relevant to the needs of the industry now—and stay relevant over time.
