The combined B.A.in Computer Science/M.S in Computer Science program allows students to earn a B.A. in Computer Science and an M.S. in Computer Science in a total of 5 years. Up to nine (9) semester credit hours of graduate electives at the CS/CEG 6000/7000 may be double-counted and applied to both the B.A and the M.S degree requirements.
Admission Requirements:
- Full-time student
- Computer Science major
- Have between 60 and 90 credit hours toward your degree
- Minimum cumulative GPA of 3.2
- Overall GPA in Computer Science and Engineering courses of at least 3.2
Complete the admission application.
Once admitted to the program the student must complete a program of study for the M.S. in Computer Science.
Program Learning Outcomes:
Students who complete the B.A. in computer science will have:
- An ability to apply knowledge of computing and mathematics appropriate to the discipline.
- An ability to analyze a problem, and identify and define the computing requirements appropriate to its solution.
- An ability to design, implement, and evaluate a computer-based system, process, component, or program to meet desired needs.
- An ability to function effectively on teams to accomplish a common goal.
- An understanding of professional, ethical, legal, security and social issues and responsibilities.
- An ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences.
- An ability to analyze the local and global impact of computing on individuals, organizations, and society.
- Recognition of the need for, and an ability to engage in continuing professional development.
- An ability to use current techniques, skills, and tools necessary for computing practice.
- An ability to apply mathematical foundations, algorithmic principles, and computer science theory in the modeling and design of computer-based systems in a way that demonstrates comprehension of the tradeoffs involved in design choices.
- An ability to apply design and development principles in the construction of software systems of varying complexity.
Graduates of the Master's of Science program in Computer Science shall:
- Have the ability to apply abstract reasoning to complex problems in computer science, and
- Have the ability to solve a broad range of problems through the application of current computer science techniques.
