Accelerated Bachelor of Science/Master of Science in Computer Science

The accelerated Bachelor of Science and Master of Science degree with a major in Computer Science is designed to accelerate a student's education so that both BS and MS degrees can be earned in approximately five years of full-time study. The accelerated program enables well-qualified undergraduate students in their senior year to take three approved graduate level courses and to earn up to 9 semester hours credit by examination for advanced undergraduate courses in their undergraduate degree plan.

The advantages of the accelerated BS/MS degree in Computer Science include earlier participation in graduate studies, identifying research interests in the discipline sooner, and reducing the total semester credit hours to earn the BS/MS degree by nine semester credit hours.

Students who are admitted to the accelerated BS and MS degree program with a major in Computer Science may opt-out in their fourth year and receive the BS degree provided that all requirements for the Bachelor of Science degree with a major in Computer Science have been satisfactorily completed, with the allowed credit by examinations. Students accepted to the accelerated program must file a graduate school application.

International freshman applicants must meet the following admission criteria:
Diploma with equivalent curriculum to that of a U.S. high school.
Official Transcripts must be received from all institutions in which the student has previously enrolled (high school and each college or university).
