MA/MS in Computer and Information Sciences, General

This master's program in computer science is offered through the engineering programs for working professionals. It suits applicants with a solid base in mathematics and programming who want graduate-level study in the field. Entering students should have completed a year of calculus, a term of advanced math, a term of Java or C++, a term of data structures and a term of computer organization. Applicants lacking any of these may begin provisionally and finish them with undergraduate-level courses at Johns Hopkins Engineering or elsewhere. Admitted students have typically held about a 3.0 average on a 4.0 scale during the second half of their bachelor's study, and each applicant's academic and work background is weighed.
