BS in Computer Science/Accelerated MS in Information Systems

 
This program is for BSCS Students interested in immediately continuing undergraduate studies in computer science with graduate studies in information systems.

Admission Requirements

Students in the BS in computer science program can apply to this program if they have earned 90 undergraduate credits with an overall GPA of at least 3.30. Criteria for admission are identical to the criteria for admission to the MS in information systems program.

Degree Requirements

Students must complete 144 credits that satisfy both the requirements for the BS in computer science program and those for the MS in information systems program, with 6 credits overlap.

Students register for two of the following courses (6 credits of 500-level computer science core courses) in place of the corresponding 400-level computer science courses, as part of the undergraduate degree requirements: CS 540, 571, 580, and 583.

Students complete all MS in information systems core courses and apply the two courses from above toward the MS in information systems elective requirements.

Note:    Students who complete CS 571 will be waived from INFS 601.

Degree Conferral

Students may apply to have the BS in computer science degree conferred during the semester in which they expect to complete the requirements. At the completion of the MS in information systems requirements, a master's degree is granted.
