Why I Pursue a Master’s Degree in Computer Science

We are currently in the midst of a technological and computing revolution that will drastically change our lives and potentially redefine what it means to be human. I am very excited at the prospect of devoting my long-term career to such a dynamic, fast advancing field. Ever since I was young, I was interested in computers and experimenting with different applications. Because my own lifetime has essentially coincided with the rise of the modern computing industry, I can sense that there are still tremendous developments to come in this field. It was natural for me to choose Computer Science as my university major, and now, as I have completed my undergraduate studies, it is my central goal to continue my education in a more competitive, elite, and international environment.

There is only one logical destination for my Masters: The technological and industrial history of the United States describes the United States' emergence as one of the most technologically advanced nations in the world. The USA, a country which stands at the centre of the computing universe. The US has been the chief driver of innovation in computing, and the most innovative and successful companies in this field are based there. Studying overseas in the US will thus give me not only a greater range of professional skills but also a much broader, more international perspective. Therefore, I am applying to join your MS in Computer Science program.  I am convinced that I am well prepared for the challenges of studying in your master’s program because of my extensive academic and practical background.

While the undergraduate courses enabled me to grasp the fundamentals related to Computer Science Engineering, they do not present an opportunity to thoroughly understand the technologies that are current within the industry. Therefore, while a Bachelor’s degree provides a sound alternative to taking a direct leap from schooling fundamentals to industry standards, it is still insufficient for an engineer to analyse the professional world. I feel the need to take up graduate study, as it would bring me closer to the kind of technical expertise, I require to fulfil my professional desires.

My journey towards success is still a few more miles away. I need to sparkle in my career with a Master’s Degree in my relevant field, without which my career would not be fulfilled. For this to occur, I need your help, your support and your guidance. Tennessee State University gives its students a degree with a dignified knowledge of survival amidst the global standards and also makes you learn the professional development skills in creative leadership. I wish to be a part with you to develop myself in many such areas. Therefore, I request you to accept my purpose and make me move ahead in my career with more confidence and venerable knowledge.
