For students without the science or engineering background, other mathematics and science course requirements may be imposed before admission will be considered. Applicants should include with their application a letter describing additional computer experience or training not covered in their transcripts and a statement describing their educational and professional goals . Verbal, Quantitative and Analytical tests. The Subject GRE is not required. GRE scores are considered as a complement to transcripts and other submitted information.
Course Work Upon admission to the program, a preliminary advisor is assigned.
The advisor aids in the formulation of the program of study and must approve all courses taken. In either Plan A or Plan B, completion of a core of courses from four different specialization areas of computer science is required to demonstrate breadth. Two courses from a specialized area must be completed which will support the student's research. The student's advisory committee should be constituted upon the completion of the first semester of studies. Some graduate courses in computer applications offered by other departments are acceptable electives.
