The College of Liberal Arts and Sciences (CLAS) at the University of Iowa offers a diverse range of Master of Science (MS) programs across disciplines in the sciences, social sciences, and mathematics. The MS is a research-focused degree, often involving coursework, comprehensive exams, and in certain departments, a thesis or capstone project. Graduate students benefit from world-class faculty, interdisciplinary research opportunities, and access to advanced research facilities. Specific requirements and curriculum vary by department. For example, the Mathematics MS is achieved through coursework and comprehensive exams without a thesis requirement. Admission is competitive and requires a relevant undergraduate degree, recommendation letters, a statement of purpose, and transcripts. Some MS programs do not require GRE scores, but international students must demonstrate English proficiency (TOEFL/IELTS/Duolingo). 来源： https://grad.admissions.uiowa.edu/academics/computer-science-mcs-and-ms
