Master's Project Track
Students on the project track must complete a Program of Study of at least 36 credits which includes at least 33 credits of coursework and 3 credits of project. The Program of Study is to be filled out during a student's first semester of graduate school in consultation with his or her advisor.
Credit Requirements
The student must complete courses in the graduate CS core and in a focused plan of study. In both options, the student must successfully complete the require18 credit hours of core CS courses.
The student must acquire depth in at least one emphasis area by developing a focused plan of study in consultation with the major advisor. These areas include, Education, Business, and Science. These are emphases that investigates some aspect of computer science in depth, consistent with the goals of the graduate program in computer science.
The non-thesis option requires at least 36 credit hours of study. At the end of the program, non-thesis students must pass a comprehensive examination that covers their graduate studies.
