Master of Science in Computer Science (MSCS)
Admission Requirements:
Minimum Bachelor Degree with computer literacy.
Degree Requirements:
A total of 54 credit hours of graduate course work and 6 credit hours thesis work are required for the MSCS degree with a minimum CGPA of B (3.0). Depending on undergraduate preparation, students can reduce credit hours by as many as 21 credits and for which a student may be eligible. However, a minimum of 36 credit hours must be taken at IBAIS University.
The MSCS curriculum for students with a four-year computer undergraduate degree will generally consist of 39 credit hours or less of 500-level courses. Students who have poor undergraduate grades or have not taken undergraduate computer courses in computer programming, database concepts, data structure, algorithms, system analysis and mathematics will be required to take the equivalent. Students may be required to take one or more English courses. Prerequisite courses are at the 500 level.
Duration:
A student of Master’s degree requires taking 12 credit hours per trimester under the coverage of a normal academic work load and 6 trimesters are required for completion of this degree assuming that a normal work load is taken.
Upon acceptance, students will receive a copy of their planned academic program. Students are encouraged to meet periodically with the Program Director to discuss academic progress, career placement and special needs.
