5-year BS/MSIS Program

Students who major in computer science can earn both a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science and a Master of Science in Information Systems (MSIS) in five years.  In their junior year, students majoring in computer science who have earned a cumulative GPA of 3.25 or higher in the major, a cumulative GPA of 3.0 overall, and have internship and/or work experience, are eligible to apply for admittance to the Five-Year Program.  MSIS graduate-level coursework commences during the fall semester of senior year.  Four graduate courses in information systems will count toward the completion of both the BS degree in computer science and the MSIS degree.  The graduate course descriptions and the concentrations offered in the MSIS program may be found in the DeSales University Graduate Catalog.
