At this stage, and upon acceptance, students will register in the Graduate College for the MCS or MAS program. Even though students are in graduate school during the second semester of their fourth year, they will register for courses for undergraduate hours credit, rather than graduate units credit, until they have the required hours for their bachelors degree. Most students will be awarded their baccalaureate degree after the completion of their eighth semester. Students who leave the five year program after completing all requirements for their baccalaureate degree will receive the baccalaureate degree. Students who are continuing in the MCS program and who are contemplating study for the doctorate in Computer Science should check the interprogram transfer rules of the Computer Science Department.
Duties consist of teaching undergraduate classes during the academic year.
Most assistantships are for one-half time. Three-fourths of a full study program may be carried. These awards vary with the research activity. Click here .
