The Department of Computer and Information Sci- ences offers the Master of Engineering, Engineer, and Ph.D. degrees through the College of Engineering, and a Master of Science degree through any one of three col- leges-Business Administration, Engineering, and Liberal Arts and Sciences. Areas of specialization within the program in computer and information sciences include computer organization, information systems, and software systems. These spe- cializations permit study in a wide range of areas includ- ing programming languages, database management, soft- ware engineering, graphics, pattern recognition, business information systems, operating systems, compilers, per- formance measurement, artificial intelligence, architec- ture, simulation, distributed computing, and theory of computation. SApplications for admission must be approved by both the Department and the college in which the student wishes to enroll. Applicants should have a strong com- puter science background. Students who wish to obtain a degree from a college other than the one from which they received their under- graduate degrees and students with inadequate back- grounds in mathematics and statistics will be required to do additional remedial work specified by the Department's Graduate Coordinator and approved by the new college. The remedial work will generally include core require- ments for the new college. All master's students must satisfy a core requirement by completing four specified graduate level courses (12 credits) or their approved equivalents. Students must maintain an average of at least 3.0 on the core courses
