Getting to Graduate School Faster
Accelerated Graduate Pathway: Computer Science
The Accelerated Graduate Pathway: Computer Science provides outstanding undergraduate students the opportunity to make simultaneous progress toward both a Bachelor of Science degree in Computer Science or Artificial Intelligence and a graduate degree in engineering.
How It Works
Undergraduate students admitted to the pathway can take up to 16 credit hours of coursework toward a graduate degree, applying up to 9 credit hours of specified coursework toward the Bachelor of Science as well.
Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence undergraduates commonly use this pathway to complete some coursework toward the Master of Science in Computer Science (MS Thesis track or MS Non-Thesis track) or the Doctor of Philosophy: Specialization in Computer Science while enrolled as undergraduates.
A student who takes full advantage of the pathway can typically complete the Master of Science in Computer Science (M.S. Thesis track or M.S. Non-Thesis track) within one year after completing their Bachelor of Science.
Start with a Bachelor's Degree
-
Artificial Intelligence Major
Our bachelor's degree in Artificial Intelligence (AI) trains students in the emerging computer science discipline of AI, machine learning and deep learning.
Finish with a Master's Degree or a Ph.D.
-
Computer Science M.S.
The Computer Science Master of Science degree (M.S. Thesis track or M.S. Non-Thesis track) offers the opportunity to influence the future of computing systems, from immersive technologies to supercomputing.
-
Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Ph.D.
A doctoral degree in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science educates engineering professionals to become leaders in industry, government and university positions who are committed to the highest standards of professional ethics, lifelong learning, and improving the human condition.
Admissions Information
Computer Science students (BS7241) will be eligible to apply for conditional admission to the AGP after completing 64.5 credit hours; students will be eligible to enroll in courses after completing 80.5 credit hours of courses in the EECS curriculum.
Artificial Intelligence students (BS7477) will be eligible to apply for conditional admission to the AGP after completing 62 credit hours; students will be eligible to enroll in courses after completing 75.5 credit hours of courses in the EECS curriculum.
