B.S./M.S. in Computer Science

The B.S./M.S. in Computer Science allows students to complete both a bachelor’s degree and a master’s degree along with two co-ops within the traditional five years. The program integrates the practical work experience of a Drexel undergraduate education with the credentials of a graduate degree.
