I’ve started graduate school this Fall semester! Thinking about going back to school and getting my Master’s degree is something that makes me happy and excited about. Having worked roughly two years in a full-time job, you don’t truly realize how you’d actually miss school — or at least, I didn’t. Walking on-campus and attending classes my first day as a graduate student I felt more of an appreciation of being there, partly because of the opportunity of learning from such talented minds and partly because of my parents who are supporting my education.
I’m aiming to pursue a Master’s in Computer Science, however in all technicality I’m not a “Master’s in Computer Science” student yet. I was admitted to the University as a graduate student in the Electrical and Computer Science department, however I need to take care of undergraduate prerequisite courses first since I’m coming from an Aerospace Engineering background. The classes that I’m taking this Fall semester are:
- Computer Systems and Assembly Language (though my professor insists that the course should be renamed to simply “Embedded Systems”)
- Software Engineering I
- Discrete Structures
Once I’m through with these classes at the end of the semester, as well as formally declaring my major, I would be formally an MSCS student in Spring.
