Students must have the necessary prerequisite knowledge to undertake the study of advanced computer science topics.

Special Program Requirements


  1. No more than six credits of coursework with a grade of ‘C.” “B” average must be maintained.
  2. All courses taken as a temporary (non-degree) student must post grades of “A” or “B.”
