Bachelor’s/Master’s Accelerated Degree in Computer Science
The guidelines for the application to the Computer Science
Bachelor's/Master's Accelerated Degree Program are as follows:
University regulations require application after the completion of
90 credits but before the completion of 120 credits.
Applicants must have completed the following core Computer Science courses with a minimum GPA of 3.50:
- CS 171 (Programming I) *
- CS 172 (Programming II) *
- CS 260 (Data Structures)
- CS 265 (Advanced Programming Tools and Techniques - Formerly CS 390 UNIX and Advanced Programming)
- CS 270 (Mathematical Foundations of Computer Science)
- MATH 221 (Discrete Mathematics)
- ECE 200 (Digital Logic Design)
- CS 281 (Systems Architecture I)
- CS 350 (Software Design - Formerly Oriented Programming)
- CS 360 (Programming Language Concepts)
- A CS Track Elective from: CS 300 (Applied Symbolic Computation), CS 338 (Graphical User Interfaces), CS 361 (Concurrent Programming), CS 380 (Artificial Intelligence), CS457 (Data Structures and Algorithms I), or CS 440 (Theory of Computation).
*Or CS 175 (Programming I - II)
Applicants must have an overall cumulative Grade Point
Average of 3.25 or higher. Letters of recommendation from two Computer
Science faculty are required. Students must submit a plan of study. Consult the Graduate Advisor and course schedules for guidance.
Acceptance to the program will be decided by the graduate admissions
committee with consultation from the undergraduate curriculum committee,
and will be based on a combination of the student's GPA and letters
of recommendation. Acceptance may be denied if the plan of study is
not feasible. For
more information, contact the Department
of Computer Science.
