Five Year Accelerated BS Electronics Technology to MS Computer Information Technology
Eligibility
Eligible students can apply for admission to the Five-Year Accelerated BS/MS program during their junior year of study and must meet the requirements specified below:
- Have at least a 2.7 cumulative grade point average, either overall or in the most recent 60 credits.
- Have completed 60 earned credit hours by the end of the Fall semester of their junior year. At least 12 credits must have been earned at CCSU.
- Have completed CET 233 and CET 363 with grade of B or higher.
Students who are accepted into Accelerated BS-MS Program will officially matriculate into the School of Graduate Studies the semester immediately following the conferral of their bachelor's degree. They may take a maximum of four graduate courses or 12 credits (i.e., 500-level courses or 400-level courses approved to confer graduate credit) while matriculated as an undergraduate. Of these four courses, up to two (i.e., 6 credits) may count for credits at both the undergraduate and graduate level, and the other two will be excluded from the student’s BS program and transferred into the student’s MS program. Students wishing to defer their graduate studies must notify Graduate Admissions of this decision prior to the start of the term following the conferral of their bachelor’s degree.
Students selected for the accelerated program will be able to complete a bachelor’s degree in Electronics Technology and a master’s degree in Computer Information Technology in just five years on a full-time basis.
How to Apply
Students will submit the Change of Major Form, a resume, and the name of two professors from the Computer Electronics and Graphics Technology department who could serve as references to the Chair of the Computer Electronics and Graphics Technology department by February 10 (for Fall) or October 1 (for Spring). The documents will go through the proper parties for review and approval, including the Graduate Program Director. Once the form has been approved by all required parties, the Registrar’s Office will change the student’s undergraduate curriculum to note the Accelerate Central program.
