Admission Requirements

While an undergraduate degree in computer science is desirable, it is not required. Applicants without a strong undergraduate background in Computer Science must demonstrate an understanding of the material covered in upper-division undergraduate courses listed under the articulation section of the curriculum information in the catalog. Applicants may choose to demonstrate their knowledge of these courses by taking these courses as non-degree seeking and scoring 鈥淏鈥 or better in all of them:

  • EEL 4768C Computer Architecture
  • COP 4020 Programming Languages I
  • COP 4600 Operating Systems
  • COT 4210 Discrete Computational Structures

Applications are accepted for the fall and spring semesters. All required materials must be submitted prior to the application deadline. Please note that faculty members may choose to conduct face-to-face or telephone interviews before accepting an applicant into their research program.

In addition to the general UCF graduate application requirements, applicants to this program must provide:

  • Official transcripts
  • Official GRE scores
  • Resume
  • Letters of recommendation
