B.S./M.S. in Computer Science
The University offers a five-year program that allows qualified students to attain a Bachelor of Science degree in computer science and a Master of Science degree in computer science with a combined course load of 152 credits.
Students who have completed the first 15 credits of the computer science program with a grade point average (GPR) of 3.00 or better (in computer science courses) are eligible to apply to the combined B.S.-M.S. five-year program.
Applications should be submitted before the student has completed 27 credits of computer science courses. Upon completion of their undergraduate degree, students who have maintained a 3.00 GPR in their computer science courses will be admitted to the graduate computer science program.

Free Electives* (19 credits) Computer Science Graduate Requirements The total combined degree is 152 credits (provided the student earns grades of B or better in the three graduate courses taken as an undergraduate).
* At most 9 credits of CSCI-prefixed courses may be used as free electives.
With the approval of their adviser, upper-division students may use the following graduate courses as substitutes for their undergraduate counterparts: CSCI6623 Database Systems or 3 CSCI3268 Database Systems 3 CSCI6638 Operating Systems or 3 CSCI3278 Operating Systems 3 CSCI6603 Computer Architecture or 3 CSCI3249 Computer Organization 3
Students will receive graduate credit for each of these graduate courses CSCI3268, CSCI6638, CSCI6603, in which they have received a grade of B or better.
In addition, they will take two more core courses:CSCI6620 Software Engineering 3 CSCI7645 Systems Programming 3 Computer Science Electives 18
