The MS in Computer Science provides learners with in-depth expertise through four foundational courses covering algorithms, operating systems, theoretical concepts, and software development. With guidance from their academic advisor, participants can partially customize their curriculum to align with personal academic interests. Completion of either a research project or thesis is mandatory.
Prospective students must demonstrate successful completion of specified undergraduate prerequisites in both computer science and mathematics to be considered for admission
Baccalaureate Degree: The applicant must provide an official transcript showing that a bachelor’s degree was awarded by an accredited college or university. If you are a UofM undergraduate student applying to Graduate School at UofM, you do not need to request that an official transcript be sent to Graduate Admissions. This office has access to your transcript. In addition, transcripts from any other college or university attended may be requested. Only transcripts received directly from an issuing institution are considered official. Personal copies are not acceptable as official documents.
GPA: The applicant must have earned an acceptable grade point average, typically a minimum of 2.5 on a scale of 4.0, but departments may make exceptions for students whose overall GPA does not adequately reflect their ability to succeed in their chosen field.
GRE scores are required and are an important factor for admission. GRE score requirements are: >= 143 verbal, >= 153 quantitative, and >= 3.0 analytical writing.
GRE scores are optional for applicants (MS and PhD) who hold a CS degree from the University of Memphis.
