Computer Science, BS/Software Engineering, Accelerated MS


School: Volgenau School of Engineering 

Department: Computer Science 

This program is for students interested in immediately continuing undergraduate studies in computer science with graduate studies in software engineering.

Admission Requirements


Students in the BS in Computer Science Program can apply to this program if they have earned 90 undergraduate credits with an overall GPA of at least 3.30. Criteria for admission are identical to criteria for admission to the MS in Software Engineering Program.

Degree Requirements


Students must complete 144 credits that satisfy requirements for the BS in Computer Science Program, as well as those for the MS in Software Engineering Program, with 6 credits overlap.

Students register for two of the following courses (6 credits of 500-level computer science core courses) in place of the corresponding 400-level computer science courses, as part of the undergraduate degree requirements.

Please note:


Students complete all MS in software engineering core courses and apply the two courses from the above list toward the MS in software engineering elective requirements.

Degree Conferral


Students must apply to have the BS in computer science degree conferred the semester before they expect to complete the BS requirements. At the completion of the MS in software engineering requirements, a master’s degree is granted.
