Welcome to the Department!

Prerequisite Exams:

You first need to take the prerequisite courses when you start your program. If your program is MS Computer Science (MS CSCI), then your prerequisite courses are CSCI 515 and CSCI 516. If your program is MS Computational Science (MS CPSI), then your prerequisite courses are CSCI 515 and CSCI 502. Note that prerequisite/deficiency course exams will be given by the Department before the semester starts. You do not have to take these exams, but if you would like to and if you pass the exams, your prerequisite courses may be waived by the department. You can only take the deficiency exams of your own program that you are accepted into. The prerequisite exam will be conducted in the orientation week and can be taken only once. If you do not pass the exam, you are not allowed to take the exam again in the next semesters.
The exact details of where and when you can take the exams are announced at the department website, usually under the Announcements link, be sure to check and follow the instructions there.
