Graduate Admissions Requirements


Graduate Certificate Program


Applicants must meet the same admissions requirements as applicants applying for the M.S. program in Computer Science (see below). Completion of the certificate program is not an implied acceptance into the M.S. program. Because of full-time enrollment requirements, graduate certificate admission is not available to international students in need of a student visa. We encourage international students to apply to the Master of Science program instead.

Master's Program


  • Bachelor's Degree with a GPA of at least 3.0 on a scale of 4.0 for the last 60 hours of course work
  • Two courses in mathematics beyond pre-calculus
  • One year of science with laboratory
  • Courses in computer science using a structured language, discrete structures, data structures, and computer architecture
  • Transcripts from all attended institutions of higher education
  • Statement of Purpose
  • Application
  • GRE Score is not required unless applying for a fellowship or assistantship
