Computer Science

Computer science skills are only growing in demand as today’s society becomes increasingly reliant on technology. In our program, you’ll gain a higher-level understanding of algorithms, data science and artificial intelligence—and you’ll come away with two degrees in five years that prove your expertise in these fields. 

Plus, as a student you’ll have access to plenty of computing facilities, such as the Virtual Worlds Lab, where you can test your knowledge and collaborate with your peers and our renowned faculty. The lab has all of the equipment you’ll need to see how human-machine interface technology blends seamlessly into our society—from energy to transportation, manufacturing and more.

You should apply to the BS/MS program after the completion of 75 semester hours of coursework and prior to attaining senior status (completion of 90 semester hours). Normally, this means that students will submit applications in the sixth semester of the BS program (usually the spring term of the junior year).

Applications to the BS/MS program must be submitted through the School of Graduate Studies. Specific requirements include the following: 

• Successful admittance to CWRU as an undergraduate
• Completed online application
• Statement of objectives
• Three letters of recommendation
• Approved Planned Program of Study (PPOS) form
