Course Requirements - Online MS in Computer Science
Core requirements. You must have satisfied four core requirements (one from each of three areas, plus one additional requirement from any of the three areas). This requirement is usually satisfied by taking courses and getting a B or better in them.
Credits. You must take a total of 30 credits with the following restrictions:
No more than 18 of the course credits may come from courses at the 500 level. 500-level classes taken to satisfy core requirements fall into this group.
No more than 6 credits may come from independent studies and/or SAT (Also known as Pass/Fail). The SAT option for graduate students is only allowed by instructor consent.
No more than 9 credits may come from courses outside of CICS. Check with your advisor before enrolling in a course in another college or department.
At least 12 of those credits must come from courses at the 600-900 level that are not independent studies. 600-level classes taken to satisfy core requirements fall into this group.
Classes with a grade below a C may not be counted toward the MS degree.
Only a limited number of credits may be transferred from other programs or institutions.
GPA. Your overall grade point average for the 30 credits must be 3.0 or higher.
