Bachelor of Science in Information Technology/ Master of Science in Applied Computer Science

Fairleigh Dickinson University - Canada

The Lee Gildart and Oswald Haase School of Computer Sciences and Engineering (GHSCSE) offers a five-year combined-degree program at the Vancouver Campus, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. It allows qualified students to obtain a Bachelor of Science (BS) in information technology and a Master of Science (MS) in applied computer science with a combined course load that is 9 credits less than that of the separate degrees, enabling students to save time and money. In particular, three graduate courses: CSCI6623 Database Systems (3 credits), CSCI6638 Operating Systems (3 credits) and CSCI6844 Programming for the Internet (3 credits) or CSCI7783 Information Security (but not both) when successfully completed under the combined-degree program, can be credited toward both the BS and MS degrees. The program features an integrated undergraduate business minor and allows a graduate specialization in either advanced computer programming or database administration. Students must register for this program upon completing at least 45 credits and must have achieved a cumulative grade point ratio (CGPR) of at least 2.75. A minimum of 122 credits is required for the BS in information technology, and a minimum of 143 of credits is required for the combined BS in information technology/MS in applied computer science degrees. In addition, for degree completion, the BS in information technology requires a minimum CGPR of 2.00 and the MS in applied computer science requires a minimum CGPR of 2.75.
