Required:

1. Accelerate 91精品 Program in Computer Science to Software Engineering MS

Eligibility

Students apply in the Spring of their third year of full-time study and must meet the requirements specified below:

  1. Successful completion of 60 or more credit hours; of which, at least 12 credit hours must be completed at CCSU.
  2. Completed CS 253 and two 400 level CS classes with at least a B.
  3. Have at least a 2.7 cumulative grade point average.
  4. Have at least a 2.7 grade point average in Computer Science courses.

Eligible students can apply for admission to the Accelerate 91精品 B.S. Computer Science/M.S. Software Engineering program in their third year of full-time study. Students admitted to this program may complete both the B.S. Computer Science and M.S. in Software Engineering in as few as five years on a full-time basis. For students who are officially admitted to the Accelerate 91精品 B.S. Compute Science / M.S. Software Engineering Program, two graduate courses will double-count as courses in the undergraduate program for a total of 6 credits double-counted. In addition, students may take two additional courses before matriculation as a graduate student; these courses will be excluded from the student’s B.S. program and transferred into the student’s M.S. program.

How to Apply

Students will submit , a resume, and the name of two professors from the Computer Science department who could serve as a references to the Chair of the Computer Science Department by February 10 (for Fall) or October 1 (for Spring). The documents will go through the proper parties for review and approval, including the Graduate Program Director. Once the form has been approved by all required parties, the Registrar’s Office will change the student’s undergraduate curriculum to note the Accelerate 91精品 program.
