The Bachelor’s to Master’s in Computer Science Fast Track option allows qualified undergraduates from any major at Lewis to complete the graduate Master of Science in Computer Science (MSCS) program in just one year. Upon completion of at least 75 credit hours including the courses:

Course List

Code	Title	Hours
CPSC 20000	Introduction to Computer Science	3
CPSC 21000	Programming Fundamentals	3
CPSC 28100	Introduction to Networks	3
CPSC 34000	Algorithms and Data Structures	3
CPSC 35000	Operating Systems	3
MATH 21000	Discrete Mathematics	4

and achieving a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.0, a student becomes eligible to apply for a Bachelor’s to Master’s Fast Track Program by completing the Fast Track application. Once accepted, the student may take up to twelve (12) graduate hours to satisfy specific course requirements in the Master’s program, and nine (9) of those graduate hours will count towards the Bachelor’s degree. Students must earn a “B” or better in each graduate course they take toward their MSCS requirements. A student who successfully completes twelve graduate hours as an undergraduate will have remaining 21 credit hours versus 33 credit hours required to complete the MSCS degree. Note that admission to the Fast Track Program is not an automatic admission to the Master of Science in Computer Science program. A student will still need to apply and be accepted to the MSCS program provisionally, contingent on completing the baccalaureate degree.
