The M.S.S.E. degree is a unique extended learning program which provides graduate level software engineering expertise to individuals who are currently working in the computer and information technology industry. The M.S.S.E. program aspires to serve both adult learners from the local computer and information technology industry, and extended learning students taking the course from remote locations. The typical M.S.S.E. student is a full time information technology professional who wishes to augment his work experience with additional academic enrichment.

The core course foundation for the Master's of Science in Software Engineering is realized through the Software Engineering Certificate Program. The Certificate consists of 15 credits, 12 of which can be completed as a non-degree student. The Master's degree requires 18 credits in addition to the certificate. To work towards a master's degree the student must be accepted to the MSSE program.

The courses for both the Certificate and the Master's degree are offered one evening per week, live via the internet, using the WVU eCampus web site.
