M.S. in Applied Computer Science
Admissions
Program entrance requirements include a bachelor's degree with a cumulative GPA of at least 3.0, proficiency in a high-level computer language equivalent to a two-semester university course, a course in data structures, a course in statistics or probability based on two semesters of calculus, and a course in finite or discrete mathematics.
As an example, the following IPFW courses, with their prerequisite knowledge, satisfy the admissions requirements for the Applied Computer Science program:
-
CS 260 Data Structures
-
MA 175 Discrete Mathematics
-
Stat 511 Statistical Methods
(These requirements are in addition to the standard admission requirements of the Graduate School of Purdue University.)
Infrequently, a student may be accepted into the program on a conditional basis, and be required to take additional undergraduate courses in order to provide a solid foundation for graduate work. In addition, students must meet the prerequisite requirements of each specific graduate course in which they enroll.
