Entry requirements

Graduate admission (applies to the programme): Most entering graduate students have degrees in computer science. Students with degrees in other areas may be considered for admission; if admitted, they may be required to take undergraduate courses in computer science, without credit toward a graduate degree, to satisfy background requirements.

Tuition is charged per credit, so the total depends on the modules you register for each year. Current fees are listed in the official fee schedule.

Graduate entry terms are summer and fall; each graduate program sets its own application deadline.

Graduate application fees: $65 for U.S. graduate applicants and $90 for international graduate applicants; MBA (and dual programs with MBA) $200; MPA $125. Each graduate program sets its own application deadline. Fee waivers are available only to U.S. citizens/permanent residents applying for a first graduate degree (not MBA or MPA).
