Computer Science

The new online computer science master program at Baylor University, which has been in the works for years, serendipitously launched this fall to accommodate the growing number of professionals interested in computer science. This population, either due to personal interest or on-the-job training, wants to pursue an academic course of study in computer science. 

Mario Lopez, a senior computer science major, took a long and winding road to Baylor. Moving away from a small town in Mexico to Houston as a kid, graduating high school and enrolling in community college classes, transferring to UTSA and finally arriving at Baylor, Lopez has a remarkable story that is rooted in a search for community that he found within his Baylor family in Waco.
