We only accept transfer credits from universities that have regional accreditation. Please contact us if you have any questions.
MS in Engineering: Applicants should have a bachelor’s degree in engineering from an ABET-accredited program. Those who have an undergraduate degree from a non-ABET accredited engineering program or in a closely related technical field, such as computer science or physics, will be considered for admission based on their college work and an appropriately proposed plan of study.
MS in Computer Science: Applicants should have a bachelor’s degree in computer science. Applicants from other areas of study will be considered for admission based on their college and professional work and an appropriate leveling course plan will be created. The MSCS program offers four online leveling courses (3 hours credit each) that can prepare non-CS majors for the MSCS degree. The number of leveling courses required for an individual is determined based on their college and professional work. MSCS online leveling classes are offered at a discounted rate. However, international students may be enrolled in an in-person leveling class which is full price.
To apply to the Graduate School of Engineering and Computer Science, submit the following materials:
- A completed online application.
- Official transcripts from the college or university that granted your bachelor’s degree and any other institutions attended before or after that time. A cumulative GPA of 2.5 is required for admission.
- GRE test scores issued within the last five years. This requirement can be waived if your cumulative undergraduate GPA is 3.0 or greater or if you have 5+ years of documented engineering or computer science work experience. Students who are not seeking admission to the MSE or MSCS degree program, but are instead registering for classes as a special student, visiting from another university, or only to audit courses, are not required to submit GRE scores or official transcripts.
Undergraduate engineering and computer science students at OC may be accepted into the graduate program during their senior year as part of a five-year BS/MSE or BS/MSCS program, provided all other admission requirements are met.
In addition, all applicants should look over the "New Student Insurance" document to see if they qualify.
