The University upon the recommendation of the Department of Computer Science and Engineering approves
applicants for admission to the Master’s program. All applicants must submit with their applications the
official transcripts from previous institutions attended and have official GRE (Graduate Record Examination)
scores forwarded to the University. Applications for admission are evaluated on an individual basis.
As a minimum, applicants are expected to meet the following requirements:
- A baccalaureate degree in computer science or a related field. (Students who do not have a computer
science background will be expected to take additional courses.)
- At least 3.0 (of a 4.0 maximum) GPA (Grade point Average) in the last 60 credits attempted prior to graduation.
- A combined score of 1000 or higher on the verbal and quantitative portions of the GRE. GRE scores more
than five years old are not acceptable.
- A score of 213 or higher in the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL).
Applicants are expected to have taken the following prerequisite courses (or equivalents) before pursuing a master’s degree. Conditional admission may be approved subject to completion of these prerequisite courses.
