Students with an adequate background in computer science will complete a minimum of 30 credits of course work consisting of 9 credits of distribution courses, and 21 credits of elective courses. In addition, within these 30 credits of course work, students must satisfy a project requirement and a programming language requirement. Based on students' prior academic backgrounds, students may be required to complete up to an additional 18 credits of prerequisite core courses. Students will be notified about any additional coursework requirements at the time of admission.
Students may need to complete up to 18 additional credits of core courses, in addition to the 30 other credits; at the time of admission, students will be notified which courses have been waived for them and which need to be completed by them after joining the program. Students are expected to complete the core courses as soon as possible after joining the program. Students who choose to enroll at the institution accept these prerequisite coursework requirements as a condition of their admission.
Required non-core courses cannot be waived, but transfer credit and substitutions may apply. See the University transfer credit policy for more information.
