This program allows a student to earn a Bachelor of Science (B.S.) in Computer Science and a Master of Science (M.S.) in Computer Science in five years. Students in this program must satisfy all requirements of the Computer Science major, except that they:
| Take | Instead of | |
|---|---|---|
| CSC 8310 - Linguistics of Programming Languages | CSC 1800 - Organization of Programming Languages | |
| CSC 8510 - Theory of Computability | CSC 4170 - Theory of Computation |
Participants can also use a third graduate course to fulfill an elective for both degrees. Any approved elective for the M.S. degree can be used for this purpose. These substitutions give the student a head start on satisfying the remaining M.S. Computer Science degree requirements.
To be eligible for these programs, students must have strong academic credentials: a cumulative grade point average (GPA) of at least 3.0 and a GPA of at least 3.5 in the major. The GRE exam is waived.
