  1. 5-Year BA/BS-MS Degree ProgramDepartment of Computer ScienceUniversity of North Carolina Charlotte Dr. Barry Wilkinson Computer Science MS Program Director abw@uncc.edu

  2. Program DescriptionA dual degree program that allows you to obtain a BA or BS and an MS degree in Computer Science.Up to 12 hours of graduate courses can double count in your BA/BS degree.MS degree in Computer Science requires 30 hours of coursework. 12 of these hours can also be used in your undergraduate degree leaving only 18 more hours to get your MS degree!!!

  3. Why do it? According to Winter 2006 Salary Report from National Association of Colleges and Employers, average starting salary of undergraduate computer science graduates is $50K, and average starting salary of Master's degree computer science graduates is $68K.By spending an extra year in school, you can increase your starting salary by 36%!

  4. Eligibility • Have taken at least 75 hours of coursework applicable to the undergraduate CS degree; • Have achieved a GPA of at least 3.2 overall and 3.3 in Computer Science courses;

  5. OK How do I apply? • Meet with MS Program Director to receive advising about early-entry program. • Take GRE exam (only verbal, quantitative, and analytic parts required). • Submit application for early-entry MS in Computer Science to the Graduate School. • Use regular on-line MS application. Check early entry box.

  6. How do I get the degrees? • Select up to 12 hours of graduate courses from a list and double count for both BA/BS and MS degrees. • Complete requirements for BA/BS degree in CS • Graduate course work substitutes for corresponding undergraduate courses • Carry on taking graduate courses to get MS degree.

  7. Approved Course Substitutions Best substitutions are to take 5xxx courses for both graduate and undergraduate credit. 5xxx level graduate courses are co-taught with 4xxx level and are essentially the same courses except possibly some extra assignment work. Example ITCS 4102/ITCS 5102 Survey of Prog. Languages

  8. Some 4xxx/5xxx coursesGames courses • ITCS 5230 Introduction to Game Design and Development • ITCS 5231 Advanced Game Design and Development • ITCS 5232 Game Design and Development Studio • ITCS 5235 Game Engine Construction • ITCS 5236 Artificial Intelligence for Computer Games • ITCS 5237 Audio Processing for Entertainment Computing

  9. Some 4xxx/5xxx coursesGraphics/Visualization courses • ITCS 5120 Introduction to Computer Graphics • ITCS 5121 Information Visualization • ITCS 5122 Visual Analytics • ITCS 5123 Visualization and Visual Communication • ITCS 5152 Computer Vision

  10. Some 4xxx/5xxx coursesDistributed computing courses • ITCS 5145 Parallel Computing • ITCS 5146 Grid Computing

  11. Other Approved Course Substitutions Elective CSCI U/G Graduate substitutions (up to 9 hours) ITCS 3XXX/4XXX (not above) Any CCI graduate course
