Page D6 Science. The GRE exam is not required for admission into the program; however, if a student is interested in a graduate assistantship, GRE scores should be submitted before the beginning of the 8 th semester. Student applications will be evaluated based on their overall academic performance, in addition to the above requirements. In all cases, admission to the program will be at the discretion of the Graduate Admissions Committee in Computer Science. Reduced Course Load As many as twelve of the credits required for the master's degree may be applied to both undergraduate and graduate degree programs. A minimum of 50 percent of the courses proposed to count for both degrees must be at the 500 level. Thesis credits may not be double counted. As shown in Table 1 below, the Integrated Undergraduate-Graduate Program reduces the total number of credits needed to earn these degrees from 150 to 138.

To be eligible for a graduate assistantship, students must have completed the requirements for their B.S. degree. The GRE exam is not required for admission into the program; however, if a student is interested in being considered for a graduate assistantship, GRE scores must be submitted before the beginning of the 8 th semester. 2
Page D7 Tuition charges Undergraduate tuition rates will apply as long as the student is an undergraduate, unless the student receives graduate study financial support, for example, an assistantship requiring the payment of graduate tuition (from "Information and Guidelines for Establishing Integrated Undergraduate-Graduate Degree Programs," approved by the Graduate Council, May 8, 1996). III. IUG DEGREE REQUIREMENTS Students in the IUG program must satisfy the requirements for both the Bachelor of Science and Master of Science degrees, as listed in Appendix A and Appendix C. As outlined in the Reduced Course Load section above, the total course load is reduced due to courses that can count towards both degrees. The first two years of the IUG program are identical to the first two years of the Bachelor of Science program, which is listed in Appendix B. The third year of the IUG program differs from the third year of the Bachelor of Science program due to a change in the order in which courses are normally taken. The fourth year of the IUG program differs from the fourth year of the Bachelor of Science program because of the inclusion of courses that count toward the Master of Science degree requirements. Three cohorts of students are created by modifying the typical Bachelor of Science schedule to account for when Graduate Computer Science courses are offered. These courses are scheduled on a rotating basis with the cycle repeating every 3 semesters. The order of courses taken by students in the IUG program will therefore depend on the entrance year. Schedules for both the paper option and the thesis option for all three cohorts are listed on pages 6 - 8. In the schedule, courses shown in bold satisfy requirements for both the undergraduate and graduate program. As described in Appendix C, in order to satisfy the Master of Science Degree requirements, students must choose either a paper option or a thesis option. Student performance will be monitored on an on-going basis. In addition, a formal evaluation of student academic performance will be performed when the student has completed 100 to 105 credits, which is at the end of the first semester of the senior year for a typical student in the program. Students who have not maintained a 3.5 GPA in their Math and Computer Science courses will be put on probationary status with respect to the IUG program. Their ability to continue in the IUG program will be based on their academic performance in the last semester of their senior year. 3

Tuition charges<br />
Undergraduate tuition rates will apply as long as the student is an undergraduate, unless the<br />
student receives graduate study financial support, for example, an assistantship requiring the<br />
payment of graduate tuition (from "Information and Guidelines for Establishing Integrated<br />
Undergraduate-Graduate Degree Programs," approved by the Graduate Council, May 8, 1996).<br />
