麦迪逊大学计算机科学咋样,威斯康星大学麦迪逊分校

专业介绍

Applications for admission to the traditional M.S./Ph.D. program are accepted

from students with undergraduate majors in many different fields, including

computer science, mathematics, engineering, psychology, linguistics, economics,

physics, philosophy and business.Minimally, the student should have had some

programming experience (including courses in data structures and machine

organization) and should have had a year of college-level mathematics at the

level of calculus or above. Strong students can sometimes be admitted to

graduate work in CS without having had programming experience or mathematics

courses as described, but they will have to make up the deficiencies.

The department does not distinguish between traditional M.S. and Ph.D.

students at admission time. Several of our Ph.D. graduates started out as M.S.

students and later on decided to switch to the Ph.D. track. Students on the

Ph.D. track are encouraged to obtain an M.S. along the way.

Students applying to the traditional M.S./Ph.D. program may also consider

applying to the Professional Master’s Program (PMP), provided they have at least

one year of current or prior work experience. To apply to the PMP, simply select

the option "Computer Science MS--Professional Program" during the application

process, in addition to selecting the options for the traditional M.S. or Ph.D.

programs.

Most students admitted to the traditional M.S./Ph.D. program are offered

financial aid.
