Admission will be based on strength of applicant, evidenced in a portfolio comprising an essay in context with Loyola's values and mission, samples of work in the field, recommendation letters, and academic performance in prior degree programs.

Graduate of our BS in CS with a GPA of 3.5 or greater
Graduate of any MS in CS or closely related degrees offered by the department or a peer/aspirational program with a GPA of 3.5 or higher
Earned a BS in CS or closely related degrees from a peer program, with a GPA of 3.5 or higher

Applicants must submit official transcripts for all undergraduate and any graduate work. To be eligible for admission, your transcript must show an earned bachelor's degree or a bachelor's degree in progress. Certified copies of transcripts are acceptable, faxed copies of transcripts are not considered official. If you attended Loyola University Chicago previously, you do not need to request transcripts, we have them on record. Copies of transcripts or transcripts not received in a sealed envelope from the university are considered unofficial.
