Return to: Programs of Study (Graduate Catalog)
This accelerated program enables students to earn both a Bachelor’s and a Master’s degree in Computer and Information Science in 5 years. The program allows a BSCIS student to take up to 12 credit hours of designated CIS graduate courses and count these courses both toward the Bachelor’s and the Master’s degrees in CIS. High performing undergraduate students may apply for this 5-year program during the third year of undergraduate study and, if accepted, complete MCIS coursework during their fourth year. Students may then complete all remaining MCIS coursework in two semesters of full-time graduate study.
