Admission Requirements
Prospective students will be admitted to the proposed program in accordance with the policies and procedures outlined in the Graduate Admissions section of the catalog. In addition, applicants will be evaluated based on the following:
- Minimum GPA of 2.5 for applicants graduated from domestic (U.S.) institutions or ABET-accredited international institutions with undergraduate degrees in computer science or closely related fields.
- Minimum GPA of 3.0 for applicants graduated from non-ABET accredited international institutions with undergraduate degrees in computer science or closely related fields.
For international students from countries where English is not the official language, a minimum passing score on TOEFL, ILETS or PTE is required.
Applicants without an undergraduate degree in computer science or a closely related field may be considered for admission based on their qualification equivalent to the required prerequisites or work experience including introductory courses in computer programming, data structures, algorithms, operating systems, software engineering, discrete mathematics, calculus and statistics.
The program seeks highly motivated and qualified students. In addition to submitting standard academic transcripts and test scores, students are strongly encouraged to submit a written essay or resume about prior work experience and participate in a phone interview when necessary to assess the level of their qualification.
