Accelerated Master’s Degree in Computer and Information Science
This accelerated program lets undergraduate students begin taking graduate-level courses during their final years of undergrad, saving time and money while deepening expertise and advancing careers sooner.
Accelerated Master’s Degree in Computer and Information Science
Undergraduate students at UM that are interested in graduate study in Computer and Information Science can get a head start through the Accelerated Master’s Degree Program.
Undergraduate students that would like to qualify for the Accelerated Master's Degree Program must meet the following requirements:
- Be a BSCS or BACS major
- 3.25 minimum GPA
- 90 completed credit hours as an undergraduate
Number of credit hours a student can earn towards the graduate degree while completing their undergraduate studies:
- 12 credit hours (no more than 6 hours per term)
Courses undergraduate students in the Accelerated Master's Degree Program can take to earn credit towards the graduate degree:
- CSCI 517 Natural Language Processing
- CSCI 520 Formal Theory of Computer Languages
- CSCI 521 Computer Systems Engineering
- CSCI 523 Operating Systems

Remember: Students who fail to reserve 500-level courses for graduate credit at the time they take the course will not receive graduate credit for the course (graduate level work must be completed to earn graduate credit).
- Reserving graduate credit with 500-level courses is required to ensure the Graduate School and instructor know the student must complete graduate credit requirements for the course.
- Students cannot later claim graduate credit for 500-level courses if they did not take the appropriate steps to notify the Graduate School prior to taking the course.
