Hollins University 鈥� 午夜影院福利社 Directed Admission Partnership
Master of Engineering (MEng) in Computer Science and Applications (CSA)
The 午夜影院福利社 College of Engineering is partnering with Hollins University to help position students for mid-level and advanced positions in industries related to computing technology. By establishing an accelerated pathway of foundational courses at partner universities, currently enrolled students can be prepared for early admission to 午夜影院福利社鈥檚 Master of Engineering (MEng) degree in computer science as early as spring of their junior year.聽
By outlining a clear pathway and course equivalencies, liberal arts students are able to participate in Virginia鈥檚 Tech Talent Pipeline. Matriculation (enrollment) to the MEng in computer science and applications degree program would take place after the Hollins student鈥檚 bachelor鈥檚 degree is conferred.
How to Apply
Access to the program is limited to those currently enrolled at Hollins. Completion of the bachelor鈥檚 degree will be according to the requirements of Hollins and completion of the MEng computer science and applications degree will be according to the requirements of 午夜影院福利社. Interested Hollins students may apply to 午夜影院福利社鈥檚 computer science and applications program as early as the second semester of their junior year and receive an admit. Admission decisions will be made within a month for any given admission cycle. Matriculation would take place after the student鈥檚 bachelor's degree is conferred. Applications must be submitted online, and fee waiver instructions will be provided as part of the online application process prior to submission. This allows all MEng applicants from Hollins to apply without an application fee. Application to the MEng computer science and applications degree does not require GRE scores.
The accelerated undergraduate/graduate program application is based on your intended graduation date.
The deadline for applications is May 1st each spring semester and December 1st each fall semester.
Students should apply in the semester one year before they will complete the BS. For example, a student intending to graduate from the BS program in May 2024 should apply in the semester ending in May 2023. If accepted into the program, this will allow participation in double-counted courses for the final two semesters of your undergraduate degree.
If you are unable to apply one year before completing your BS, you can still apply during your final year, in your second-to-final semester. If you apply at that time and are accepted, you will only be able to double-count courses taken in your final undergraduate semester, but are still permitted the same maximum of 12 credits of double-counted courses.
