“The Software Engineering Practicum gave my teammates and I the ability to apply the Software Engineering skills we’ve been taught to a project that truly excited and challenged us. Our final product was an iOS Application deployed on the Apple App Store, for which we have plans to continue working on even after we start the next chapter of our professional careers.” – Kyle Blazier ’17

Comprehensive & Flexible Program
The MSSE is an applied program that brings together the fields of computer science, applied mathematics, management science, and software engineering. Students can pursue the program on a full-time or part-time basis.
My experience at Monmouth University has been very exciting. The courses I attended were highly interactive which gave me an opportunity to discuss real usecases and master the concepts. It added a new perspective and fortified my thoughts on project execution. Faculties were always ready to share their knowledge and extend their support. Their Industry experience helped me correlate academics and business world.
Veera Tadikonda, Current Student
Associate Professor Daniela Rosca recently presented at the International Conference on Software Engineering and Knowledge Engineering the results of her research together with graduate student Veera Tadikonda on the application of big data analysis to financial systems. They aim to extend their research to other domains of application, such as healthcare or retail industry.
Dr. Jay Wang and his students are working on a project that controls the flight of drones through hand gestures. Since he joined Monmouth University in 2004, Dr. Wang has supervised many students in their extra-curricular research activities.
