Computer Science, B.S.-M.S.

Return to: 3210 Department of Computer Science

The department offers a dual Bachelor of Science and Master of Science in Computer Science. The dual degree opportunity enables qualified students to enroll in graduate courses late in their undergraduate program and apply the coursework toward both the bachelor’s and master’s programs.

Students must be formally accepted into the dual degree program by the participating departments and colleges to be able to take graduate courses as an undergraduate. Additionally, acceptance into the dual program does not constitute admission to the master’s program. Students must fulfill regular graduate admissions requirements and apply for the master’s program following college processes.

Information about the dual program, including application instructions and program requirements, can be found at cas.gsu.edu/dual-degrees/.

CSC Dual Degree Application Requirements

CSC Majors must have successfully completed the following courses with a B or better prior to applying:

CSC 1301 - Principles of Computer Science I
CSC 1302 - Principles of Computer Science II
CSC 2720 - Data Structures

and

CSC 2510 - Theoretical Foundations of Computer Science or
MATH 2420 - Discrete Mathematics

Applicants cannot have more than one class in Area H, for Dual Degree consideration.

Applicants must have a 3.5 or better overall GPA.

CSC Dual Degree Course Requirements

Computer Science Dual Degree Students can complete their Area H in their undergraduate academic evaluation and earn graduate credit by completing the following courses with a grade of B or better:

CSC 8900 - Seminar in Computer Science - 1 credit hour (required)
2 CSC 6000-level courses - 8 credit hours
1 CSC 8000-level course - 4 credit hours

No more than 12 graduate course credits or four graduate courses taken as an undergraduate student will be used at the undergraduate or graduate level, depending on the program’s requirements.

Possible course plans specific to preferred areas of study are available by request by emailing CASDualDegree@gsu.edu or by visiting https://cas.gsu.edu/academics-admissions/undergraduate-learning/dual-degree-programs-overview/dual-degree-program-list/ and reviewing the guidelines in the program list.
