Admission

Regular Admission

Although an undergraduate degree in Computer Science is not required for admission to the graduate program, a certain number of foundational courses are expected. Applicants are eligible for regular admission if they have

1. A Bachelor's degree at an accredited institution with a grade point average of at least 3.0 on a 4.0 scale in all coursework and in computer science / mathematics courses. Official transcripts of all undergraduate and graduate work should be sent directly to the NKU Office of Admissions by the college or university attended.
2. At least three semester of undergraduate coursework in computer programming and data structures; a course in computer systems; two semesters of calculus; and a course in discrete mathematics.
   
   Students who do not qualify for the above may still qualify for regular admissions but will be required to take the general portion of the GRE. The GRE/GMAT code for NKU is 1574.
