The Office of Academic Advising connects faculty with current, prospective, and former students in the School of Science and Computer Engineering. The Academic Advisors and staff strive to ease students' transition into upper-level coursework.
The SCE Newsletter is for faculty, staff, students, university friends and community members to help them feel connected with the School of Science and Computer Engineering. This newsletter will tell our success stories, inspire with feature stories about what people are doing at all levels across our school..
Computer Science - Program Requirements to the Master of Science Program
Computer Science: Program Requirements to the Master of Science Program
Students should consult with their faculty adviser to determine if they have sufficient background to satisfy a specific course prerequisite. Foundation and prerequisite courses should be completed before enrolling in any graduate course.
Students expecting credit for foundation courses completed at international institutions must submit course descriptions. This will allow proper evaluation and appropriate credit.
Students may select from the thesis option or the extended course work option. The thesis option requires 33 credit hours of graduate work. The extended course work option requires 36 credit hours.
Core Requirements (12 Hours)
The following courses or their approved substitutions are required for both the thesis and the extended course work options:
A student must take an additional 15 hours of electives. Pending faculty advisor approval, at most 3 credit hours may be taken at the 4000-level and at most 6 credit hours may be taken from SWEN/ CENG/ SENG rubrics.
Note: All electives must be approved before enrolling.
A student must take an additional 21 hours of electives, pending faculty adviser approval. At most, six credit hours may be taken at the 4000-level and at most, six credit hours may be taken from SWEN/ CENG/ SENG rubrics.
Note: CSCI 6838 must be taken during the last 12 hours, after completion of CSCI 5531 and CSCI 5333. All electives must be approved before enrolling.
