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

Saint Louis University's computer science B.A. to software engineering M.S. accelerated program allows a student to complete both the Bachelor of Arts in Computer Science and the Master of Science in Software Engineering at SLU in less time than if the degrees were pursued independently. 

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. 

Contact the graduate coordinator for more details.

Non-Course Requirements

All Science and Engineering B.A. and B.S. students must complete an exit interview/survey near the end of their bachelor's program. 

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. 

Only grades of B or better in the graduate courses taken while an undergraduate can be applied to the master's degree.
