Modality In-person Full-time/Part-time Full-time or Part-time Transfer Credits 6 graduate credits will be applied to both the BS and MS degree programs. Graduate Capstone Comprehensive Exam or Thesis Program Description This accelerated plan of study provides a pathway to earning a master’s degree in computer science along with a bachelor’s degree in mathematics . Students enrolled in the BS/MS program complete 6 graduate-level credits during their senior year. These credits are offered at the reduced undergraduate tuition rate and fulfill both undergraduate and graduate program requirements. The master’s degree in computer science is designed to help students from all backgrounds advance to new careers in technology fields. Our mission is to prepare the next generation of application developers, start-up entrepreneurs, and business analysts to thrive in a rapidly changing world. The program focuses on building a strong foundation in the theoretical concepts of computer science, while introducing applicable skills in areas like machine learning, web and database development, cybersecurity, and data science. Courses are taught by dedicated faculty who are experts in their fields with active research programs. Our network and security lab provides advanced computing facilities. The curriculum is constantly evolving in step with current trends in technology, emphasizing the skills that employers - especially in the Hudson Valley’s growing tech industries - need right now. How does it work? Get started by declaring the Computer Science AP major (513A ) as an undergraduate: Meet with AP advisor, Kaitlin Hoffmann , to declare the Computer Science AP major. Work with your AP advisor to enroll in two graduate computer science courses during your senior year. Apply for the MS Computer Science program in your senior year. Transfer 6 credits of graduate electives taken as an undergraduate into your graduate program. Graduate Admission Requirements Graduate admission requires submission of: Graduate application - select major 270 . One set of official transcripts for all undergraduate and graduate course work, including a baccalaureate transcript from a regionally accredited institution, indicating at least a 3.0 cumulative grade point average. Grades of B or higher in graduate computer science courses taken as a senior. Admission Deadlines Admission Deadlines Month Semester Fall Admission July 31 Spring Admission January 1 Accepting on a rolling basis until the program is full. However, applications must at least be started by the deadline, or they will not be considered. Curriculum Requirements
