Software Engineering (AMP)
Software Engineering (AMP)
The Accelerated Masters Pathway (AMP) in Software Engineering lets Loyola undergraduates begin the MS in Computer Science: Software Engineering during their senior year. Graduate courses taken as an undergraduate count toward both the bachelor's and the master's degree, so students can finish both degrees sooner and at a lower cost. Students from any undergraduate major may apply, provided they meet the program's admission requirements.
Where AI fits in
AI is reshaping how software gets built — AI-assisted coding, testing, and debugging tools are now standard in industry — and students learn to use these tools critically, understanding their limitations as well as their capabilities, so they can build software that is dependable even when parts of it are AI-assisted or AI-enabled.
Students graduate ready to function as effective members of software teams from day one, with a foundation that adapts as the tools of the trade continue to change.
Students apply to AMP during their junior year and begin graduate coursework in their senior year. Learn more about the pathway from the Graduate School, and see the Computer Science: Software Engineering MS program page for admission requirements and how to apply.
