The School of Engineering and Applied Science offers a dual bachelor of science with a major in computer science (BS) and master of science in the field of computer engineering (MS) degree program. The program allows students to take up to 6 graduate credits as part of their undergraduate program, thereby decreasing the number of credits normally required for the master's degree. All requirements for both degrees must be fulfilled.
Credit sharing
Undergraduate students in the dual degree program should consider taking two of the MS courses (for a total of 6 credits) from the list below during the BS program and counting them as technical electives. The selected courses are shared, i.e., counted toward both the BS and MS degrees. The optimal selection of MS courses taken during the BS program depends on the student's intended area of focus within the graduate degree. Prior to enrolling in shared courses, students must consult with their computer science academic advisor and with the chair of the department of electrical and computer engineering.
