Accelerated Degree Pathway (ADP)

Accelerated BS/PSM

UCO’s P.S.M. (Professional Science Master’s) in Computational Science has partnered with the B.S. in Computer Science - Information Science major so that approved students may take up to nine credit hours of 5000-level CMSC courses during their senior year of the B.S. program. These courses will count toward both the B.S. and P.S.M. degrees. A formal application to the P.S.M. Computational Science program and an approval from the Department of Computer Science are required. Requirements for the P.S.M. program are located in the UCO Graduate Catalog under Computational Science - Computer Science, P.S.M.

Up to nine credit hours of the following courses can be used to satisfy both the B.S. Computer Science - Information Science and the P.S.M. Computational Science - Computer Science:

CMSC 5043 Applications Database Systems
CMSC 5283 Software Engineering I
CMSC 5323 Computer and Network Security
