Computer Science Graduate Programs
The Department of Computer Science at the University of Vermont
offers three graduate programs through the Graduate
College: two leading to a Master of Science (MS) degree and an
interdisciplinary PhD program.
- The Master's Program, is a traditional two-year
degree program, which offers both a thesis, and a nonthesis
option. The Guide to the Master
of Science Program in Computer Science describes most features
about the master's degree program: admission requirements, when and
how to apply, requirements for candidacy, requirements for the MS
degree, and teaching and research fellowships.
- The Accelerated
Master's Program (AMP) enables exceptionally motivated
students to complete both a bachelor's and master's degree in Computer
Science within a five year period.
- The interdisciplinary
PhD program in Computer Science offers
study in both traditional and cross-disciplinary areas such as
bioinformatics and ecological modeling, and includes graduate
assistantships specifically designated for students involved in
interdisciplinary areas.

Which Major is for you?
CS Majors at a
glance (pdf file). It may be hard to know whether you want
a CS program that is oriented towards science, mathematics, and
engineering (the BS(CS) program), one oriented towards business and
information technology (the BS(CSIS) program), or one that is more
flexible and oriented towards the arts, social sciences, and
humanities (the BA(CS) program). You can make your course
selections so that you can delay the decision. If you don't know which
program is for you, we suggest taking CS 21, MATH 21, CHEM 31, and
ECON 11 in the first semester, and CS 26, MATH 22, CHEM 32 or BIO 2,
ECON 12 in the second. See a CS advisor for help in keeping your
options open, and in deciding which CS program is for you.

Student Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs).

Computer Science Minor
The Computer Science Minor is a cross-college minor available to all
UVM students. The requirements are: 18 credits of Computer Science to
include (100 or 103), 104, and 3 additional credits at 100 level or
above. Some Computer Science courses require additional
prerequisites. Back to top
Certificate in Computer Software
The
Department of Computer Science and the Division of Continuing
Education offer a non-degree Certificate in Computer Software that requires
five courses (at least fifteen credits) in approved CS courses at
UVM. It offers a flexible selection of courses to meet individual
needs. For example, one can design a certificate program in
preparation for admission to the Master of Science program for
students whose undergraduate degree is from another academic
discipline. Contact Alison
Pechenick for more information.
