What is the difference between MCS and MS in Computer Science courses at Arizona State University?

• And which course would you recommend?

• Answer:

  MS requires a thesis, while MCS requires a project - http://cidse.engineering.asu.edu/forstudent/graduate/computer-science/ "Computer science, M.S.: The Master of Science in computer science is a research-oriented degree, ideal for students with undergraduate education in computer science or related studies. This degree features advanced course work and a strong emphasis on student research. The M.S. program provides numerous opportunities for interdisciplinary study. Within this degree, students can concentrate their studies in the following areas: arts, media and engineering,and information assurance Computer science, M.C.S.: The Master of Computer Science program is designed for students with undergraduate degrees in computing or related areas who are seeking to expand their knowledge of the computer science field through the completion of a project portfolio. This program reflects the dual nature of computer science as both a scientific and engineering discipline by placing emphasis on both theory and practical applications. Students seeking their M.C.S. submit a portfolio that compiles projects completed in three courses during their computer science studies. The M.C.S. provides an opportunity for students employed in industry to recieve advanced training in computer science. A concentration in information assurance is offered with the M.C.S."
