Combined B.S. and M.S. in Computer Science programs
Computer Science classroom
To complete the Master's degree in Computer Science, the following is possible:
US students: Must take all B.S. and M.S. courses on campus, which should take about 4.5 years to complete.
International students: Have a choice of taking all B.S. and M.S. courses on campus (and paying in full), or working up to two years in a US company as part of the Curricular Practical Training (CPT) requirement for the Masters degree. Students who choose the CPT requirement can complete their on-campus courses for the B.S. and M.S. in about 4 years, and then finish the Masters degree through Distance Education courses during CPT over the next 1-2 years. The Bachelors degree program does NOT include financial aid through Curricular Practical Training (internship), and is therefore a full pay program. The Masters degree can be financed through the Computer Professionals Loan.
In summary:
US students: ~4.5 years on campus = B.S. and M.S. in Computer Science
International Students: ~4 years on campus + up to 2 years of working for an IT company in the US + Distance Education = B.S. and M.S. in Computer Science
There are two options leading to the M.S. in Computer Science: the B.S. in Math + M.S. in Computer Science, and the B.S. in Computer Science + M.S. in Computer Science.
