Computer Science, B.A. to Software Engineering, M.S. Accelerated Program

This program allows a student to complete, in an accelerated fashion, both the Bachelor in Arts (B.A.) in Computer Science and the Master of Science (M.S.) in Software Engineering at Saint Louis University. 

For additional information see the catalog entries for the following programs:

Computer Science, B.A.

Software Engineering, M.S.

Students who wish to apply to this accelerated program should have completed all 2000-level coursework required of the computer science bachelor's program and have completed at least 75 credits at the time of application. At the time of application, students must have a cumulative GPA of at least 3.00 and a GPA of at least 3.00 in their computer science coursework. 

To apply, students must submit a personal statement and arrange for two letters of recommendation from computer science faculty members.

Continuation Standards

Students must maintain a cumulative GPA of at least 3.00 and a GPA of at least 3.00 in their computer science coursework. 

Students who drop below that GPA while in the accelerated program will be placed on a one-semester probationary period before being dismissed from the accelerated program. 

Roadmaps are recommended semester-by-semester plans of study for programs and assume full-time enrollment unless otherwise noted.  

Courses and milestones designated as critical (marked with !) must be completed in the semester listed to ensure a timely graduation. Transfer credit may change the roadmap.

This roadmap should not be used in the place of regular academic advising appointments. All students are encouraged to meet with their advisor/mentor each semester.  Requirements, course availability and sequencing are subject to change.
