South College’s Master of Science in Software Engineering program is fully online and intentionally topic targeted. The curriculum requires specific courses aligned with necessary skills. This program offers many opportunities to work and communicate with instructors and classmates, but you are also expected to be responsible, motivated, and able to work independently. Even with the support of our instructors and staff, time management will be needed for balancing coursework with other obligations. Building strong time management skills will help you to juggle your course load.
South College is committed to supporting our students in any way we can. Though the online format encourages independence for busy students, it also provides many collaboration and communication opportunities with your instructors and classmates alike, and the faculty are frequently available for assistance and advice.

I went to college originally straight out of high school with the intent of majoring in musical performance with a concentration in theoretical studies. I was not prepared to for college at that point, so I decided to gain some experience and maturity by joining the work force full-time. After working for 10 years, I felt it was time to try school again.

I like South College because of the other students and the teachers that go out of their way to make sure you are good. The administration seems to really care. That’s what I like about South College – we are family.

I considered dozens of schools with similar online programs, but South College was just so proactive and more helpful than the others. It was stress-free for me to enroll and get started. Also, being a military-friendly institution made it easier for me to use my Post 9/11 GI Bill® benefits with the Yellow Ribbon Program.
