Accelerated BS/MS

The School of Computer Science offers an accelerated dual degree (BS, MS) program to qualified undergraduate students. The program allows students to pursue a graduate degree in conjunction with the undergraduate degree requirements.

Students admitted into this program can use up to four courses (12 credit hours) to satisfy the requirements of both the BS and MS degrees. Students generally apply for the program two or three semesters before completion of the BS degree, and minimal requirements for this program include a 3.5 GPA at the time of application. The best semester to apply is while enrolled in CS 3823/3113.

In addition to a dual degree program in which both BS and MS degrees are in Computer Science, the School of Computer Science in cooperation with the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering offers a dual degree program in which the BS degree is in Computer Engineering and the MS degree is in Computer Science.

*With respect to the “Accelerated Degree Coursework Plan, BS & MS in Computer Science”, Computer Science students must secure the signature of the Computer Science Undergraduate Liaison & Graduate Liaison first (send to Attn: Philip Johnson, pjohnson77@ou.edu), followed by their undergraduate advisor in the Williams Student Services Center/WSSC. Once all pertinent signatures are obtained, the form will be sent to the Graduate College. Any updates to the forms will require resubmission detailed through the process outlined above.
