The demand for skilled professionals in computer science is surging, with the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics projecting a remarkable 22% growth in employment for computer and information technology occupations from 2020 to 2030, significantly faster than the average for all occupations. This growth reflects the increasing reliance on technology across various sectors, including finance, healthcare, education, and entertainment. As organizations continue to innovate and enhance their digital infrastructures, the need for computer scientists, software developers, systems analysts, and cybersecurity experts has never been greater.

This program is designed for highly motivated students who are passionate about advancing their careers in the technology sector. It enables qualified students to begin taking graduate courses during their senior year, allowing them to accelerate their graduate studies while still completing their undergraduate degree and paying undergraduate tuition and fees. The ADDP BS/MS degree program offers an opportunity for interested and qualified students to complete the Rowan University Computer Science Department’s Bachelor of Science in Computer Science and Master of Science in Computer Science in a condensed timeframe — typically in five years instead of six.
