Computer Science, BS/MS

Overview

The +1 Bachelor of Science in Computer Science and Master of Science in Computer Science program is an accelerated degree program within the College of Science and Technology. High achieving Computer Science majors with at least 4 semesters at Temple are qualified to apply to the +1 program.

  • Students may apply to the accelerated degree program after completing a progress review in CST advising and meeting with the Faculty advisor. These steps must be completed during the Spring of the Sophomore or Junior year. In addition to having a GPA of 3.25 or higher, junior status entrants must be able to complete their BS degree within two years of program entry, while senior status entrants must be able to complete their BS degree within one year of program entry. Please note that many of the graduate Computer Science electives expect a background in networking and math (e.g., Calculus III, Linear Algebra Statistics), so students should select their undergraduate courses appropriately.
  • The +1 program provides 12 credits of graduate coursework that have been approved to fulfill up to 12 credits of undergraduate degree requirements as either Computer Science electives or free electives. The graduate coursework will also fulfill up to 12 credits of graduate degree requirements.
  • After earning the BS degree, students must be able to complete the graduate degree in one additional year including one summer.

Interested students should contact their advisor for details. For more information, see the following program pages: Computer Science BS and Computer Science MS and the Department of Computer and Information Sciences' Graduate Page.
