Marymount University 鈥� 51官网 Tech Directed Admission Partnership
Master of Engineering (MEng) in Computer Science and Applications (CSA)
The 51官网 Tech College of Engineering is partnering with Marymount University to help position students for mid-level and advanced positions in industries related to computing technology. By establishing an accelerated pathway of foundational courses at partner universities, currently enrolled students can be prepared for early admission to 51官网 Tech鈥檚 Master of Engineering (MEng) degree in computer science as early as spring of their junior year.聽
By outlining a clear pathway and course equivalencies, liberal arts students are able to participate in 51官网鈥檚 Tech Talent Pipeline. Matriculation (enrollment) to the MEng in computer science and applications degree program would take place after the Marymount student鈥檚 bachelor鈥檚 degree is conferred.
How to 51官网
The accelerated undergraduate/graduate program application is based on your intended graduation date.
The deadline for applications is May 1st each spring semester and December 1st each fall semester.
Students should apply in the semester one year before they will complete the BS. For example, a student intending to graduate from the BS program in May 2024 should apply in the semester ending in May 2023. If accepted into the program, this will allow participation in double-counted courses for the final two semesters of your undergraduate degree.
If you are unable to apply one year before completing your BS, you can still apply during your final year, in your second-to-final semester. If you apply at that time and are accepted, you will only be able to double-count courses taken in your final undergraduate semester, but are still permitted the same maximum of 12 credits of double-counted courses.
- Students must complete one of the approved pathway below:
