The courses in the Prerequisite Phase for the MS in Computer Science are: CSC 202 Mathematics for Computer Science CSC 211 Programming in Java I CSC 212 Programming in Java II or CSC 224 Java for Programmers or CSC 396 Programming in Java I and II CSC 373 Computer Systems I CSC 374 Computer Systems II CSC 383 Data Structures and Algorithms in Java By taking these courses and receiving a grade of a B- or better in each, the student will have completed the requirements of the Prerequisite Phase. All or part of the Prerequisite Phase may be waived if a student has the equivalent academic background. Alternatively, students with practical experience may complete a Graduate Assessment Examination (GAE) to show competency in a prerequisite. All students are blocked from enrolling in Core Knowledge Phase courses prior to completing their prerequisites. The student must submit an online Change of Status request when the Prerequisite Phase is completed to inform the Student Services offices that the block can be removed. The online request must be submitted two weeks before the student intends to register for graduate level classes. The student will then be considered a fully admitted student, and may pass to the Graduate Phase of the program. Students may submit the Change of Status request by logging in to MyCTI.
