Master of Engineering (MEng) in Computer SCIENCE AND APPLICATIONS (CSA)

The 午夜影院福利社 College of Engineering is partnering with Roanoke College 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听early admission听to 午夜影院福利社鈥檚 MEng degree in computer science听and computer engineering as early as spring of their junior year.听 Once accepted these students during their fourth year can begin taking up to 12 credits of courses from an approved set of courses that can be applied beyond the 120 required credit hours required for Roanoke College undergraduate degree towards their MEng degree.

By outlining a clear pathway and course equivalencies, both the engineering and liberal arts student are able to participate in Virginia鈥檚 Tech Talent Pipeline.听 Many students will find that they can complete their MEng degree in just one extra year.听

How to apply

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.

Third-year Roanoke College students can apply to the听MEng in computer science and applications听or computer engineering in their second semester.听They can also apply for a fee waiver and are not required to submit GRE scores.
