BS/MS in Computer and Information Science

This fast-track program enables well-qualified BS degree students in Computer Science to complete both the BS and the MS with nine fewer credits than if taken separately. Students will take three graduate courses (9 credits) as their CIS BS-degree technical electives. Students electing the BSMS program are required to complete a Master's thesis. The BS degree is conferred when all undergraduate requirements have been successfully completed, including the three graduate courses as senior electives. At this time, the BSMS student's status changes to graduate level. BSMS students will pay undergraduate rates until changed to graduate status; in graduate status, they may be considered for graduate assistantships.
