Admissions Requirements
In addition to the application and transcript(s), Computer Science applicants must submit a resume.
Students with a bachelor’s degree or at least a minor in computer science will find a traditional M.S. in Computer Science. Students who wish to transition from math, science, or engineering into computer science may be fully enrolled in the program after taking recommended courses based on their background.
Once the application is complete, the Engineering Department will begin the review process and make a prompt decision.
