Master of Computing Technology (MCT) Program (Curriculum 357)
The Naval Postgraduate School (NPS) in Monterey, California is offering a fully online masters degree program in Computing Technology (MCT). This 16-course professional degree program is designed to provide flexible, high quality, technical graduate education. All courses are taught by experienced NPS faculty.
In addition to the MCT degree program, we provide a ‘transition mechanism' for those students who desire a MSCS with a Computer Science subspecialty code. The MCT courses are all web-based conversions of existing NPS offered computer science courses.
