Accelerated Pathways Master's Degree Program

The Accelerated Pathways program allows students to complete both B.S. and M.S. degrees in five years. Up to nine total credit hours of graduate courses may be applied toward fulfilling the student's undergraduate program requirements in the final year of their bachelor’s degree. For additional information, students should contact the undergraduate program director.

 

Facilities and Equipment

In addition to the research labs, students in the Department of Computer Science have access to a wide range of facilities and equipment. The CS Department's computing environment has evolved into an Ethernet-based network of personal computers and servers. General-use UNIX servers are available that run OSF1, SunOS and Linux. A wireless network is also available throughout the facilities of CS. Access to the network is also available via open-area labs containing X terminals and PCs.
