Admissions

This program is designed for either practicing or aspiring professionals who are ready to build a comprehensive set of computer science skills.

Whether you’ve acquired your existing computer science skills through formal study, self-directed learning, or professional experience, this program will help you deepen your understanding, hone your practical abilities, and demonstrate your proficiency by earning a prestigious master’s degree. 

This innovative program offers two pathways to admission, Performance Based Admission (PBA) and Traditional Application, allowing you to choose the approach that best suits your background and goals. To gain admission through PBA, you’ll complete two three-credit pathway courses on the Coursera platform. Once you’ve earned a GPA of 3.0 or higher in both courses (and have provided proof of your bachelor’s degree), you’ll be accepted into the degree program.

There are no prerequisites related to a specific educational or professional background. You only need to have a bachelor’s degree from an accredited institution in any field.

Pathway courses are a part of the degree program, so you are making progress while you gain acceptance to the degree.
