We probably don’t need to tell you how much the computer science field has blown up. With self-driving cars and artificial intelligence being some of the most popular topics of 2023, almost everyone knows that the era of technology isn’t slowing down any time soon. 

In fact, the demand for computer and math occupations is the fourth-fastest growing major occupational group for 2024, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. 

That’s why Texas Wesleyan University is now enrolling for its new 100% online Master of Computer Science degree, with the first class starting January 2024. Following the similar Smaller. Smarter. Faster. model of Texas Wesleyan’s MBA, the computer science degree will have six starts per year with accelerated courses that allow students to finish their degree in as little as 12- to 18-months. 

Our degree is designed to help you get the advanced foundations you need to find jobs in several different computer science careers — including software and web development, systems architecture and cyber security. You’ll get more in-depth information on machine learning, computer architecture, software engineering, computer security and more. 

Those skills can help you land jobs that are among the highest in wages. The National Association of Colleges and Employers even touted computer science as the highest paying master’s degree with an average salary of $102,000, according to a survey done in 2021. And people with a master’s degree can earn around $30,000 more a year than those with just a bachelor’s degree in similar fields. Talk about a great return on your investment.
