MSE - Admission Requirements

The Master of Software Engineering program offers admission to accomplished individuals with diverse academic backgrounds who are adept at problem solving and thrive on challenge. Regardless of your major, whether it is computer science, engineering, science, mathematics, business, or humanities, it you have a strong academic record, generally evidenced by a cumulative grade point average of 3.0 or higher and a credible background in computing, you are encouraged to apply.

Admission to the MSE degree program requires knowledge in the core areas of

  • discrete mathematics
  • data structures and algorithms
  • computing systems (operating systems, computer architecture, etc.)

and demonstrated competence in programming using a high-level program language (e.g., C/C++, JAVA, Ada, Visual Basic, etc.).

While not required for admission, applicants are strongly encouraged to take the Graduate Record Exam (GRE) general test as part of their application to the MSE program. The GRE general test is required for consideration in fellowship and assistantship award programs.

Core knowledge and programming competency requirements can be met through course work, professional experience in software development, or a strong score on the Graduate Record Exam (GRE) Computer Science subject test.

Consistent with University policy, conditional admission into the MSE program may be granted.
