Degree Requirements
Computer Science M.S.
All graduate students must conform to the requirements from the graduate school. The graduate school's requirements can be found here:
http://www.uno.edu/academics/grad/masters-degree-requirements
In addition, the graduate students must also meet the following program-specific requirements.
Grade Requirements
All graduate students completing the master's degree must maintain a minimum of B grade in all 5000-level courses, and a minimum 3.0 average in all courses taken to satisfy the degree requirements excluding thesis research.
Course Requirements
All candidates for the master’s degree must satisfy the following background, breadth, and depth requirements. No course may be counted toward the satisfaction of more than one of these requirements.
| Background requirement | The equivalent of Computer Sciences 4401 and 4501. Students who have not completed this requirement prior to enrollment are required to do so, for credit, as part of their curricula. |
| Breadth requirement | Students must take one 6000-level course that counts toward the degree requirements (three semester hours) in each of three different areas of study. |
| Depth requirement | Students must take three additional courses that count toward the degree requirements (nine semester hours), of which at least two must be at the 6000-level. All courses must belong to the same area of study. These selections must be different from the ones chosen to fulfill the breadth requirement. |
Assistantship Requirements
All graduate assistants are required to participate in the weekly departmental seminar.
