Program Description
The combined B.A.in Computer Science/M.S in Computer Engineering program allows students to earn a B.A. in Computer Science and an M.S. in Computer Engineering 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.A and M.S degree requirements.
Admission Requirements
- Full-time student
- Computer science 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 Engineering.
B.A. Program Learning Objectives
Three to five years after matriculation, graduates of our Bachelor of Arts in Computer Science program will be:
- Expert: Graduates of the Computer Science program are employable as computing professionals and will be recognized by their employers as well-prepared for their career in computing.
- Adaptive: Graduates understand that education is a lifelong process and are well prepared for continuing studies.
- Engaged: Graduates demonstrate an appreciation for the professional, social, ethical, and leadership roles of computing professionals.
- Applied: Graduates can apply computing and software development principles to a diverse range of domains, such as analytics, data science, informatics, management, etc.
M.S. Program Learning Objectives
Graduates of the Master’s of Science program in Computer Engineering will:
- Have the ability to apply abstract reasoning to complex problems in computer engineering
- Have the ability to solve a broad range of problems through the application of current computer engineering techniques
B.A. Program Learning Outcomes
- Analyze a complex computing problem and to apply principles of computing and other relevant disciplines to identify solutions.
- Design, implement, and evaluate a computing-based solution to meet a given set of computing requirements in the context of the program’s discipline.
- Communicate effectively in a variety of professional contexts.
- Recognize professional responsibilities and make informed judgments in computing practice based on legal and ethical principles.
- Function effectively as a member or leader of a team engaged in activities appropriate to the program’s discipline.
- Apply computer science theory and software development fundamentals to produce computing-based solutions.
M.S. Program Learning Outcomes
Graduates of the Master’s of Science program in Computer Engineering can:
- Apply abstract reasoning to complex problems in computer engineering
- Solve a broad range of problems through the application of current computer engineering techniques
