Graduate Transition Program

The curriculum for the MS in Computer Science requires a basic knowledge of computer fundamentals including mathematics, programming, data structures, computer architecture and operating systems. Credits for the courses in the transition program do not count toward the degree. Successful completion of these courses with a 'B' or better in each course is required to become an unconditionally admitted student. The transition courses are selected from the following list depending on an individual's background.
