What is the difference between the Master of Science degree in software engineering and the Master of Software Systems programs?
Here is the main difference between these two master’s degrees: Master of Science degree in software engineering (MS) : Software engineering is concerned with delivering software to the end-user that meets their needs within budget and schedule. Software engineering is a blend of technical topics related to developing software and applying engineering discipline to the process. (The MS program is the preferred program track for the hands-on developer and is a longer and more rigorous program than the MSS.) Master of Software Systems (MSS) : The MSS is the preferred program track for the business analyst. This applied program is designed for people who use software and interface extensively with software developers, or people who wish to couple software development knowledge and skills with careers in education, government, marketing, business, law, human resources, medicine, science or manufacturing.
