    I was curious is anyone has undergone the Master of Science in Computer Science, Cyber Security or Management Information Systems at National University and could tell me if the grades are weighted more from exams or writing papers.

    Thanks

    Exams are about 40% and research paper and powerpoint (on another topic) usually make up about 50%, at least in my program (MS in Homeland Security and Safety Engineering). However, the computer science MS program may be different. It may require a real or actual programming work, in which case program codes may be required as a deliverable, in addition to other grade components. For the MS in Cyber Security and/or MIS, my guess is that the grading is similar (to the security engineering program).

    Cyber: How do you like the MS-HSSE program so far? I looked into this program a few months ago. What is your background? How do you plan to use this degree? Is the program meeting your expectations? PM me if you would rather. Thanks.

    The master's I earned from National University had a number of exams, but it was not what I would call "exam heavy." There were many papers to be written. There was a pretty tough thesis requirement as the final couple of classes.
