Qualification Requirements

Applicants will be evaluated on the basis of their prior academic record. Applicants for the M.S. are expected to have a bachelor's degree in computer science or a related field. Ph.D. applicants will additionally be evaluated in their potential for creative research and teaching in Information and Computer Sciences.

Applicants are expected to have (1) skills in computer programming at least equivalent to those obtained in college-level courses in programming and language development, (2) skills in mathematics equivalent to those obtained in complete college-level courses in logic and set theory, analysis, linear algebra and modern algebra, or probability and statistics, (3) data structures, analysis of algorithms, automata theory, or formal languages, and (4) computer architectures.

All applicants are evaluated on the materials submitted: letters of recommendation, official GRE test scores (optional for M.S./Ph.D. in Informatics, M.S./Ph.D. in Software Engineering, the Master of Human Computer Interaction and Design, and the Master of Software Engineering) official college transcripts, statement of purpose, and personal history statement.

An applicant to the M.S./Ph.D. in Informatics, M.S./Ph.D. in Software Engineering, the Master of Human Computer Interaction and Design, or the Master of Software Engineering is strongly encouraged to submit additional material that enriches their application and speaks to the applicant's strengths (e.g., design portfolio, link to GitHub profile, GRE test scores, scholarly papers submitted and/or published, writing samples).
