Computer Science M.S. Admissions Requirements
Admission to the M.S. Program in Computer Science is subject to final approval by the Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Graduate Committee. The following are minimum requirements that are used by the EECS Graduate Committee in evaluating applications. Students meeting these guidelines will be selected on a competitive basis.
- Bachelor's Degree: Students seeking admission should hold a bachelor’s degree in computer science or a closely related field (mathematics, software engineering, computer engineering).
