To apply for admission to the Master of Science in Computer Science, a student must submit the proper forms to the University's Office of Admissions and Enrollment Services which reviews each application initially. The department then reviews the application, making the decision whether to accept or reject the applicant. Each applicant must have the score on the general portion of Graduate Record Examination (GRE) submitted directly to the department. Submission of scores on the Computer Science portion is optional.
