MASTER OF ENGINEERING (MENG) IN COMPUTER SCIENCE AND APPLICATIONS (CSA) OR COMPUTER ENGINEERING (CPE)

The 午夜影院福利社 College of Engineering is partnering with Radford 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 MEng degree in computer science as early as spring of their junior year. Once accepted these students during their fourth year can begin taking up to 12 credits from an approved set of courses that can be applied beyond the 120 required credit hours required for a Radford University undergraduate degree towards their MEng degree (Radford course level approved:聽4XX (max. 6 credits) from approved course list).

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. Many students will find that they can complete their MEng degree in just one extra year.

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 Radford students can apply to the MEng in computer science and applications in their second semester after completing ITEC 220 Principles of Computer Science II. They can also apply for a fee waiver and are not required to submit GRE scores.

Pathways

Pathway for Radford University's Computer Science and Technology (SCIS) students to the RU/VT聽Accelerated UG/G Computer Science (CSA) Program

Radford University SCIS majors and non-majors are eligible to apply in their junior year and be accepted into聽the RU/VT Accelerated UG/G CSA Program by completing a set of introductory computer science courses. To be eligible for admission, Radford and 午夜影院福利社 recommend that students complete the following聽courses by the second semester of their junior year and maintain an overall minimum GPA of 3.3.

(Note: ITEC or CS340 Database I is a prerequisite for Grad Course ITEC 541 at Radford. In order to begin graduate courses at Radford, students must take ITEC or CS340)

Pathway for Radford University Computer Science and Technology majors and non-major students to the RU/VT Accelerated UG/G Computer Engineering (CPE) Program

Radford students are eligible to apply in their junior year and be accepted into the RU/VT Accelerated UG/G CPE graduate program by completing a set of introductory courses below. To be eligible for admission, Radford and 午夜影院福利社 recommend that students complete the following courses by the second semester of their junior year and maintain an overall minimum GPA of 3.3.

Eligible courses for transfer to the RU/VT Accelerated Bachelor's/Master's

Radford undergraduate students accepted to the 午夜影院福利社 graduate program may take up to 12 credits of聽Radford courses designated below during their last 12 months of study.

As soon as you submit your application please read and do the following:

You should immediately complete and submit the . You will indicate on this form the courses that you intend to take during the Accelerated UG/G period. This form will be reviewed and signed by the 午夜影院福利社 Computer Science and Applications Department Graduate Program Director and an appropriate authority at Radford University.
