MS Degree Program
Prerequisite CoursesThe need for prerequisite courses (if any) will be determined on an individual basis by the academic department and admissions committee. The number and area of prerequisite courses will vary, depending on the student's educational background, life or work experience, and on the desired area of concentration within the CIS degree.
Students without a bachelor's degree who have completed at least two years of undergraduate coursework and wish to pursue an MS degree may be admitted on a conditional basis. Such applicants will be allowed into the graduate program after completing an adequate number of undergraduate courses in liberal arts, business, science, and/or engineering. Students should have a minimum of 120 undergraduate credits to begin the graduate program. This should include at least 24 credits of coursework in computer science or computer and information sciences. Most or all of these courses can be taken at KSI.
Prerequisite course descriptions are given in the online catalog. These 300-level courses are listed under the Certificate Program. Such courses shall not be counted toward the fulfillment of MS degree requirements. Before a student may matriculate he/she must have an official transcript of previous college work on file in the registrar's office.
