Early Entry MS in Computer Science
The Department of Computer Science offers undergraduate students the opportunity to begin coursework toward the Master of Science during the senior year of their Bachelor of Science program. Undergraduates with senior-level status (at least 90 semester hours) and an overall GPA of at least 3.0 on a 4.0 scale may be admitted to the MS program. They may then take 35 semester hours of graduate-level courses (400- and 500-level) during their combined senior and graduate years.
An application for degree-seeking status as a graduate student must be approved by the Graduate School and the Graduate Committee in Computer Science following the procedures described under "Admission." A program outline must also be submitted for approval by Graduate Records and the director of the graduate program in computer science prior to enrollment in any courses in order to be included as a part of the master's program. Official admission to the program and status as a classified graduate student is made only after the award of the baccalaureate degree. In no case will a graduate degree be conferred before all requirements for both degrees have been completed.
Please note: Only current SIUE students are eligible for this program.
