4+1 BA/MA Program in Interdisciplinary Computer Science
Mills has a unique five-year joint BA/MA program in interdisciplinary computer science. Undergraduate students enrolled in the program major in a field different from computer science, while simultaneously working on the degree requirements for an MA in interdisciplinary computer science. They receive a BA upon completion of undergraduate degree requirements, which usually takes four years, and they receive an MA upon the completion of the graduate degree requirements, which usually takes an additional year.
Undergraduates at Mills are eligible (and encouraged) to apply for admission to the program after enrolling in CS 111 or CS 124. Participants keep their undergraduate status until they have completed all of the BA requirements. Thereafter, they switch to graduate status.
Requirements:
43 course credits (34 for undergraduate plus 9 for graduate), including:
-
the requirements for an undergraduate major different from computer science
-
all other undergraduate degree requirements, including the GE requirements
-
six required computer science courses:
CS 111 Introduction to Computer Architecture (1)
CS 124 Data Structures and Algorithms (1)
CS 214* Programming Languages (1)
CS 222* Operating Systems (1)
CS 232* The Interdisciplinary Computer Science Research Process (1)
CS 250* Thesis for the Degree of Master of Arts in Interdisciplinary Computer Science (1)
Three elective computer science courses, at least two of which must be taken at the 200 level, selected from the following:
CS 112 (212) Contemporary Computer Architecture (1)
CS 113 Compiler Design and Implementation (1)
CS 123 (223) Robots, Persons, and the Future (1)
CS 125 (225) Theory of Algorithms (1)
CS 127 (227) Linear Optimization (1)
CS 128 (228) Theory of Computation (1)
CS 131 (231) Computer Networks (1)
CS 163 (263) Computer Graphics (1)
CS 170 (270) Software Engineering (1)
CS 180 (280) Topics in Computer Science (1)
CS 186 (286) Web Programming (1)
An interdisciplinary master's thesis combining the outside major with computer science.
Residence of at least three years.
