BS-Computer Science

The Computer Science (CS) program provides an excellent pathway to the programs in Master of Science in Computer and Information Science (MS-CIS). Students apply to the accelerated MS program during junior year, prior to registration as a junior or senior for graduate courses. The Accelerated Program Application will be approved by the department and the dean, then sent to the registrar’s office to make a note on the student’s profile. In the Senior Year, students apply to the graduate program through Graduate Admissions to officially become a graduate student. Students have to select one of the available MS-CIS program options: Data Science (DS), Information Technology (IT) or Software Engineering (SE).

To remain in the accelerated program, students are required to maintain a 3.00 GPA in their undergraduate courses. When accepted, students rearrange their graduation plan to match one of the patterns provided below. Six credits of identified graduate work can be counted as undergraduate CIS Technical Electives. The total credit count to complete the BS-CS and the MS-CIS is 150 credits.
