Program Requirements for the Accelerated B.S./M.S. with a major in Computer Science
Choice of Graduate Courses
Students accepted into the combined program begin the Master of Science coursework in their undergraduate senior year. Students are required to take CMPS 5153 - Advanced Software Engineering and two courses from below that count toward the MS degree and for which Credit by Examination may be earned:
If students take CMPS 4103 Introduction to Operating Systems, CMPS 4453 Computer Architecture or CMPS 4113 Software Engineering and count them toward their BS degree instead, they forfeit those hours as they will not count toward the MS. However, they may take an approved substitute graduate course in those areas to count toward the MS only. Each semester thereafter, accelerated undergraduate students must consult the Computer Science Graduate Coordinator on their graduate courses, which will follow the requirements for the traditional Master Degree with a major in Computer Science at Midwestern State University. Students in the accelerated program will take the remaining 9 semester hours in the core for the Master of Science Degree:
