The Computer Science 5-year program provides students with the opportunity to complete a BS and MS within 5 years of study. It is intended primarily for students who would like to 1) accelerate their graduate schooling by one year; and 2) gain specialized training for employment in computer science fields beyond the Bachelor of Science degree. A maximum of 9 credits associated with these courses may be applied to meet the degree requirements for both the Bachelor of Science and Master of Science degrees in Computer Science.  Upon earning the Computer Science, B.S., with permission of the Graduate Coordinator, students may matriculate into the Master of Science degree. The graduate credits earned during the junior/senior year (see below) will be added to the student’s graduate transcript, enabling the completion of the Master of Science in Computer Science with as little as 21 credits in the fifth year.
