Accelerated Degree Pathway (ADP)

Accelerated BS/PSM

UCO’s PSM (Professional Science Master’s) in Computational Science has partnered with the B.S. in Data Science so that approved students may take up to nine credit hours of 5000-level CMSC, MATH, or STAT 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 Mathematics and Statistics (for students pursuing the P.S.M. Computational Science - Computational Mathematics) or the Department of Computer Science (for students pursuing the Computational Science - Computer Science) are required. Requirements are located in the UCO Graduate Catalog under Computational Science - Computer Science, P.S.M. and Computational Science - Computational Mathematics, P.S.M.
