Ours is one of the only software development graduate degree programs in the United States, with courses that develop expertise in agile software development techniques, Python and Java programming languages, and mobile app development for Android. Students learn to produce secure, robust, and reliable designs and code, gaining the understanding needed to analyze business and technical requirements, create software in an interactive process that involves multiple stakeholders, and excel in agile team environments.<\/p>\n<p>Software developers design and build software, as do software engineers. Developers are also expected to be problem solvers capable of working with multiple stakeholders to understand the reason for the software and define the required goals and outcomes for the product. At BU MET, we help ready students to excel in agile project team situations, developing the skills that most dramatically improve coding capabilities, while offering the instruction needed to move into managing development teams.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><a id=\"degreesandcertificates\" name=\"degreesandcertificates\"><\/a><\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: left; margin-top: 50px;\">\n<h2 style=\"display: inline-block; margin-top: 0;\">Degrees<\/h2>\n<hr style=\"align: right; width: 25%; display: inline-block; height: 5px; background: #18ABAF; border: none; margin-left: 15px;\" \/>\n<div class=\"bu_collapsible_container \" aria-live=\"polite\" data-customize-animation=\"false\"><h3 class=\"bu_collapsible\" aria-expanded=\"false\"tabindex=\"0\" role=\"button\">MS in Software Development<\/h3><div class=\"bu_collapsible_section\" style=\"display: none;\">Improve your software development capabilities and develop an advanced portfolio of software projects through real-world case studies and hands-on projects that meet the ubiquitous, and growing, need for new software.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/met\/degrees-certificates\/ms-software-development\/\">Read More.<\/a><br \/>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<h2 style=\"display: inline-block; margin-top: 55px;\">Certificates<\/h2>\n<hr style=\"align: right; width: 25%; display: inline-block; height: 5px; background: #18ABAF; border: none; margin-left: 15px;\" \/>\n<div class=\"bu_collapsible_container \" aria-live=\"polite\" data-customize-animation=\"false\"><h3 class=\"bu_collapsible\" aria-expanded=\"false\"tabindex=\"0\" role=\"button\">Software Engineering Graduate Certificate<\/h3><div class=\"bu_collapsible_section\" style=\"display: none;\">Advance your software engineering career by gaining in-depth understanding and hands-on practice in how to plan, understand and analyze the requirements, design, implement, test, and deploy high-quality software applications.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/met\/degrees-certificates\/software-engineering-graduate-certificate\/\">Read More.<\/a><br \/>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<h2>Rankings &amp; Accreditations<\/h2>\n<div class=\"badge-container\">\n<div class=\"badge\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.usnews.com\/education\/online-education\/boston-university-OCIT0007\/computer-information-technology\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img src=\"\/met\/files\/2026\/02\/us-news-grad-infotech-2026.png\" alt=\"U.S. News & World Report Best Online Programs -
