Course summary

The BS degree program in computer science requires 120 credits of coursework including 37 credits of CS coursework and 11 to 12 credits in Math/Stat. It is designed to be completed by a full-time student in four academic years. The 30-credit MS degree program in computer science may take two academic years to complete, depending on the academic performance and preparation of the BS degree holder, e.g. how well they satisfy the prerequisites for admission to graduate school at Pitt. However, the requirements of the two degree programs can be accomplished by our best students over a period of five years. Besides earning both degrees a year early, advantages of this program include the opportunities to participate in a variety of experiential educational activities such as research and teaching (once admitted to the MS program, a student is eligible for consideration as a teaching or research assistant).

Accommodation details

Students in their first year at the University are housed in the first year residence halls: Hemlock, Hickory, Laurel, Maple, and Oak Halls. These facilities are newly renovated and feature double rooms arranged in suites, meaning that two rooms share a semi-private bathroom. The first year residence halls each feature a card access security system that only allows the students who live in a particular building and University staff to access that building. The first year residence halls are located convenient to the Student Union. Students who return to campus after their first year are housed in the following housing areas: College Park Apartments, Living Learning Center, North and South Lodges, Townhouses and Willow Hall. These housing options provide an opportunity for returning students to live in a variety of settings, from apartment and suit style to more traditional double rooms.
