Adding a Minor: Students interested in learning more about a minor in Computer Science should contact the Minor Faculty Adviser, Dr. Kate Bowers ([email protected]). Once approved by Dr. Bowers, students need to contact the CSE Administrative Assistant, Sherry Rank ([email protected]), to add the minor. 

Combined B.S./M.S.
a combined bachelor/master degree program provides students an opportunity to complete a bachelor’s and master’s degree in less time than would be required if the two degrees were done independently. Students accepted for the B.S./M.S. Program must have a minimum overall undergraduate GPA of 3.2. Students may apply to the B.S./M.S. Program and be offered deferred admission to the graduate program during their junior year.


The B.S. in Computer Science program is accredited by the Computing Accreditation Commission of ABET, https://www.abet.org, under the General Criteria and the Computer Science Program Criteria.
