We acknowledge that other departments/universities divide up their curricula in different ways. The important thing is that approximately the same material has been covered. The decision about which courses you submit for review meet the background requirements is made by the faculty. The form is submitted to the grad office.
The following UTCS undergraduate courses, or equivalent, are required as background*:
Discrete Math for Computer Science (CS 311)
Introduction to Programming (CS 312)
Data Structures (CS 314)
Algorithms and Complexity (CS 331)
Computer Organization and Architecture (CS 429)
Principles of Computer Systems (CS 439)
Rules
Any background requirements not met at the time of admission must be satisfied while enrolled in the Masters program.
A common question is whether an undergraduate background requirement can be satisfied by taking the corresponding graduate course. Generally speaking, the corresponding graduate course assumes the undergraduate material as background, and so this approach is not permitted. That said, exceptions to this general rule are sometimes granted. A student seeking an exception should consult with the faculty member teaching the corresponding graduate course.
One upper-division background course taken at UTCS as a graduate student may count towards your CS Major coursework.
How to Complete Background Requirements
Score in the 90-percentile on the subject GRE in CS last offered April 2013, ETS will report scores through Spring 2018; OR ..
Coursework that covers the background topics through any combination of:
Courses taken prior to admission.
Background courses named above may be taken at UTCS as a graduate student. An overall GPA of 3.50 on courses taken at UTCS is required unless only 1 course is taken, in which case the requirement is for a 3.0 in that single class.
Student receives a B or better on Final exam(s) of UTCS undergraduate background courses.
*Students who first enrolled prior to Fall 2016 may choose to graduate under the new rules above or fulfill the previous background requirements. Please see the pre-2016 background coursework form and checklist for a list of previous background coursework.
