WelcomeWelcome

Software engineering goes well beyond computer

systems; software is an integral part of almost all

systems. Automobiles, for example, now have a hundred

million lines of computer code running everything from the

brakes to the radio. Software engineers need first-class

instruction to prepare for the demands of an ever-changingtechnological world. After offering the masters degree

at the Penn State Great Valley campus for more than 10

years and at the Philadelphia Naval Shipyard since 2008,

the online masters degree now gives us the opportunity to

reach working professionals around the globe.
