 Return to: Programs of Study - Department/School
The combined B.S. in Computer Engineering/M.S. in Computer Science program allows students to earn a B.S. in Computer Engineering and an M.S. in Computer Science in 5 years. Up to 9 semester credit hours of graduate electives at the CS/CEG 6000/7000 may be double-counted and applied to both the B.S. and M.S. degree requirements.
Admission Requirements
- Full-time student
- Computer engineering major
- Have accumulated between 60 and 90 credit hours toward 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.
B.S. Program Learning Objectives
Within five years after graduation, graduates of our Bachelor of Science in Computer Engineering program shall:
- demonstrate employer and peer-recognized expertise as computing and engineering professionals with the ability to analyze, design, and evaluate solutions to complex engineering problems.
- demonstrate adaptability to evolving technology and workforce needs through sustained learning applicable to the computer engineering discipline through self-study, professional training programs, and graduate education.
- demonstrate engagement in social, ethical, professional, and leadership responsibilities to the discipline through teamwork, professional societies, and computing and engineering-related activities within the community.
- demonstrate an in-depth understanding of a broad spectrum of hardware and software components and their interactions within modern computational systems.
- demonstrate a commitment to teamwork and working with others of diverse cultural and interdisciplinary backgrounds.
M.S. Program Learning Objectives
Students who complete the Master of Science in computer science will:
- 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
B.S. Program Learning Outcomes
Students who complete the Bachelor of Science in Computer Engineering will have:
- an ability to apply knowledge of mathematics, science, and engineering.
- an ability to design and conduct experiments, as well as to analyze and interpret data.
- an ability to design a system, component, or process to meet desired needs within realistic constraints such as economic, environmental, social, political, ethical, health and safety, manufacturability, and sustainability.
- an ability to function on multidisciplinary teams.
- an ability to identify, formulate, and solve engineering problems.
- an understanding of professional and ethical responsibility.
- an ability to communicate effectively.
- the broad education necessary to understand the impact of engineering solutions in a global, economic, environmental, and societal context.
- a recognition of the need for, and an ability to engage in life-long learning.
- a knowledge of contemporary issues an ability to use the techniques, skills, and modern engineering tools necessary for engineering practice.
M.S. Program Learning Outcomes
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.
