Admission Requirements
Academic Requirements
You need the following GPA score:
Applicants for graduate programs must have the equivalent of a bachelor’s degree with a minimum GPA equivalent to 2.5 on a US 4.0 grading scale. Admitted applicants typically have an undergraduate GPA of or better on a 4.0 scale. No exam grade should be lower than 4.5 (European grade scale) or D (American grade scale).
Your GPA (Grade Point Average) is calculated using the grades that you received in each course, and is determined by the points assigned to each grade (e.g. for the US grading scale from A-F).
Admission to this program adheres to the general criteria for admission to the UMES Graduate School.
The general GRE is also required but, in view of the wide variety of fields from which students come, the Computer Science subject-matter GRE is not employed in admission consideration for Applied Computer Science.
- Regular admission: Students with undergraduate (in computer science related areas) GPA s of at least 2.5 on a 4.0 scale and
- Provisional Admission: those students with weaker preparation in Computer Science may be offered Provisional Admission. This status is usually changed to Regular Admission as soon as the student completes prerequisite requirements and/or achieves a 3.0 or better cumulative GPA. Students whose computing background is weak may be directed to take undergraduate computer science or mathematics courses as a condition for entering the graduate program. Courses required for Regular Admission must be completed as early as possible, generally within the first year.
In addition to the University of Maryland Eastern Shore s general admission requirements, applicants must have:
- A bachelor s degree in Computer Science or Information Sciences or a bachelor s degree and specified background course determined by the Department Graduate Committee
- An undergraduate GPA of at least 2.5 on a 4.0 scale for Provisional admission, which may also be conditional on some course requirements (of computer science or mathematics) to be met, determined by the Departmental Graduate Committee.
