The Master of Computer Science (MCS) is a coursework-focused program designed to help students advance their careers through deeper computer science expertise. Unlike thesis-based programs, the MCS doesn't require a thesis. Both current and potential graduate students should review the Computer Science Graduate Handbook, accessible through the department's office and website. This comprehensive guide outlines all degree specifications, including mandatory courses, exams, and dissertation guidelines. Participants develop:
current, thorough understanding of diverse computer science concepts and technologies,
advanced problem-solving skills within their chosen specialization,
foundational knowledge of computer science theory, and
familiarity with pioneering research developments.

Qualification Requirements
The completion of a four-year undergraduate degree (or its equivalent) from an accredited institution. (Students applying to the PhD program need not have a master's degree prior to admission. Those who do may apply for transfer credit of those courses towards the PhD program requirements, see Transfer Credits.)
A minimum 3.00 undergraduate grade point average on a 4.0 scale. Graduate students in recent years had an average undergraduate GPA of 3.60 for PhD applicants and 3.28 for MCS applicants.
Applicants to the PhD program, international or domestic, are required to submit scores from the Graduate Record Examination (GRE) General Test. Applicants to the MCS program are strongly encouraged, but not required, to submit GRE General Test scores. The GRE General Test scores of PhD students admitted recently averaged 155 Verbal, 164 Quantitative and 4 Analytic Writing. GRE General test scores of MCS students admitted recently averaged 153 Verbal, 163 Quantitative and 3.5 Analytic Writing. For Fall 2021, we have waived the requirement that applicants submit GRE scores, and made this optional.
The Graduate College requires a minimum TOEFL score of 81 for Internet-based testing or a minimum IELTS score of 7.0 (with no section score lower than 6.0) for international applicants whose native language is not English.
TOEFL iBT - Total score 81
TOEFL PBT - 550
IELTS - Overall score of 7 with no subscore less than 6
