Since establishment of the Graduate School in 1951, graduate instruction has been a major concern at Middle Tennessee State University. Graduate degrees are awarded through the College of Graduate Studies, admission to which implies the expectation of superior talent, high motivation, and dedication to advancing the goals of the University. The Department of Computer Science offers the Master of Science degree in Computer Science and, in addition, offers a minor at the graduate level. The department welcomes inquiries from individuals who consider themselves qualified for graduate study and who are sincere in their desire to enter the program. We consider our graduate program in computer science to be one of the best in the state.

The following items are required to apply for admission to the Master's program. Applicants must submit these items to the College of Graduate Studies.

1. An application for admission.
2. An application fee.
3. An official transcript from each college attended. (All students applying for admission to the Graduate School must present an overall undergraduate GPA of 2.75 on a 4.00 scale to be considered for unconditional admission.)
4. A demonstrated ability to communicate effectively in English. International students must present acceptable TOEFL scores.
5. GRE is waived for all applicants to the Master’s Program. However, applicants with a 3.0 or lower undergraduate GPA are encouraged to submit a GRE score for a better chance of acceptance.
