MASTER OF SCIENCE IN COMPUTER SCIENCE (MSCS):
BACKGROUND PREPARATION
Students admitted in to the MSCS degree program are required to have the following background preparation. A student with any deficiency is required to clear it by either (1) taking the course at CSBU and earning a grade of at least C-or higher or (2) taking and passing a proficiency exam on the subject. The student is advised to clear all deficiencies before attempting to enroll in graduate level courses.
1. ENGINEERING MATHEMATICS:
- MATH 210, MATH 220
2. COMPUTER SCIENCE SUBJECTS:
- Programming languages and Data structures (CS414, CS 460, CS470);
- Operating systems (CS440, CS490);
MSCS CURRICULAM
A minimum of 36 semester units of graduate study are required for the MSCS program. A maximum of four (4) 4xx courses (400 level courses with a designation taken as elective courses) are allowed to count towards graduation credits. The student must meet prerequisite requirements when taking any of the following courses.
1.) Basic Courses (12.0 credits)
