About this programme
UNT's MS in Computer Engineering is delivered on campus by the Department of Computer Science and Engineering in the College of Engineering, with an estimated two years to complete. UNT describes it as balancing the theoretical and experimental aspects of hardware and software issues. Curriculum areas span algorithms and computational science, computer security, computer systems and networks, databases and data mining, intelligent systems, and software. Students may select a master's thesis or a coursework route and agree a specialisation area with a major professor and the graduate coordinator. What the fee covers: the out-of-state (international) rate — tuition and fees for the nine-month academic year, College of Engineering, based on 9 credit hours each semester, from UNT's official international cost sheet. Fee year: 2026-27. Before you budget: the programme page lists individual courses at 3 hours each but does not clearly state a total credit-hour requirement. The tuition assumes 9 credit hours per semester; living expenses ($18,955) and other expenses ($3,926) are additional. Study takes place at UNT's Discovery Park campus. Where the dates and requirements come from: the intake and entry details come from the Department of Computer Science and Engineering graduate admissions page (https://engineering.unt.edu/cse/graduate/admissions.html), which states 'Due to the high volume of applicants, we do not accept Summer intake applications for international applicants.' The degree's own unt.edu page prints no intake, entry requirement or English score. The English scores shown are UNT's university-wide minimum for international applicants (https://www.unt.edu/admissions/international/english-language-proficiency.html); that page prints one table for all international applicants with no separate graduate row, so it is not a degree-specific or graduate-specific score.
