4+1 Bachelor’s to Master’s Programs

Our 4+1 programs enable well-qualified students to earn a Master's degree in the following specialties with just one additional year of study:

Bachelor of Arts Option Available

The B.A. in Computer Science program provides an alternative that requires fewer credit hours (particularly in mathematics). Some employers and graduate schools prefer candidates with the Bachelor of Science degree, but certainly not all. This option provides a well-rounded education in Computer Science while leaving a little more room for your other interests.

Traditional and Accelerated Students May Apply

Both incoming first-year and adult undergraduate students can take advantage of the B.S. in Computer Science program. Interested students should consult their academic advisor to learn about applying to the program and next steps after being admitted.
