Computer Science, B.S. to Artificial Intelligence, M.S. Accelerated Program
抖阴pro's computer science B.S. to artificial intelligence M.S. accelerated program allows a student to complete both the Bachelor of Science in Computer Science and the Master of Science in Artificial Intelligence at SLU in a shorter time period than if the degrees were pursued independently.
For additional information, see the catalog entries for the following SLU programs:
Students who wish to apply to this accelerated program should have completed all 2000-level coursework required of the computer science bachelor's program and have completed at least 75 credits at the time of application. At the time of application, students must have a cumulative GPA of at least 3.00 and a GPA of at least 3.00 in their computer science coursework.听
Contact the graduate coordinator for more details.
Non-Course Requirements
All Science and Engineering B.A. and B.S. students must complete an exit interview/survey near the end of their bachelor's program.听
Continuation Standards
Students must maintain a cumulative GPA of at least 3.00 and a GPA of at least 3.00 in their computer science coursework.听
Students who drop below听that GPA while in the accelerated program will be placed on a one-semester probationary period before being听dismissed from the accelerated program.听
Only grades of B or better in the graduate courses taken while an undergraduate can be applied to the master's degree.
Roadmaps are recommended semester-by-semester plans of study for programs and assume full-time enrollment听unless otherwise noted. 听
Courses and milestones designated as critical (marked with !) must be completed in the semester listed to ensure a timely graduation. Transfer credit may change the roadmap.
This roadmap should not be used in the place of regular academic advising appointments. All students are encouraged to meet with their advisor/mentor each semester. Requirements, course availability and sequencing are subject to change.
