Accelerated Degree Pathway (ADP)

Students in the B.S. in Computer Science - Computer Science program are eligible to pursue an P.S.M. (Professional Science Master’s) in Computational Science-Computer Science while still an undergraduate, which means that they can take courses that will count toward both the B.S. and P.S.M. degrees. A formal application to the P.S.M. in Computational Science-Computer Science program and approval from the Department of Computer Science are required. For more information, please see the Accelerated Degree Pathway requirements for the P.S.M. in Computational Science - Computer Science in the Graduate Catalog.
