Graduation Requirements Use the Requirements Checklist on our site! Credit and Class prerequisites Overall credit hours Graduate credit hours Core educational modules Track (CS) or Concentration Block (MOVES) Service particular necessities Thesis fulfillment Minimum review point normal (QPR)

MS Curriculum: Computer Science (368) Two-year program: 19 center courses took after by one of five specialization tracks Each track envelops extra eight courses Typically four track center courses, and a four-course specialization arrangement CS Tracks: Networks & Mobility Information Security and Assurance Software Engineering and Architecture Autonomous Systems CS-MOVES Option Subspecialty Code: 6203-P

MS Curriculum: MOVES (399) Two-year program: 20 center courses and finishing of 3 fixation hinders Each focus square comprises of 3 courses Typically 2 required piece courses and 1 square elective MOVES Concentration Blocks: Combat Modeling ● Visual Simulation Training Systems and Human Factors ● Systems Eng. & Acquisition Agents and Cognitive Modeling ● JPME Discrete Event Modeling and Analysis Subspecialty Code: 6202-P

MS Curriculum: Software Engineering (369) 18-month program: 10 center courses and 6 SwE electives Typically taken as a Distance Learning educational programs Classes instructed at NPS and communicate No Subspecialty Code

Service Specific Requirements NW3230 – Strategy and Policy SECNAV INST – Required for all USN and USMC understudies Applies towards JPME Phase 1 Marines can approve with Command & Staff JPME Phase 1 (three extra courses) Required for all USN URL, IP and IW Officers Systems Engineering and Acquisition Concentration square required for all USA MOVES understudies MN3331 – Acquisition and Program Management Required for all USMC and USA understudies Marines additionally urged to take EO4011 (discretionary) International Students must take IT1500, IT1600, and IT1700 (as coordinated by the International Office)
