Computer Science - 2010-2011

Please refer to the Computer Science graduate program section for information including departmental contact information, list of graduate faculty members, program description, and course descriptions.

Requirements for Enrollment

Admission into the integrated program in Computer Science requires a minimum of an overall GPA and a major GPA of 3.25.

Integrated Degree Program Description

Students in the integrated program are allowed to use nine semester hours to satisfy both the Bachelor of Science in Computer Science degree and the Master of Science in Computer Science degree.

Integrated Degree Requirements

Undergraduate students in the integrated program may choose three of the following bridge courses to satisfy the requirements of both the bachelor’s and master’s degrees in computer science:

I. Core Courses: 18 s.h.
