Computer Science 4+1 Program

Degree Description

The CS 4+1 program allows Emory undergraduates to obtain a CS BA/BS from Emory College in four years and a CS MS degree from the Laney Graduate School in one extra year. To complete the program, 4+1 students are expected to take two graduate courses each semester of their senior year and six more graduate courses (or equivalent project hours) in the +1 year. At most 6 graduate course credits may be double-counted toward the BA/BS degree.

Requirements

  1. Complete four core CS MS courses, based on chosen CS MS concentration.
  2. Complete three elective courses, based on chosen CS MS concentration.
  3. Complete one of the following three options:
    • Three more elective courses, based on chosen CS MS concentration.
    • One more elective course based on chosen CS MS concentration + six project credit hours (under the supervision of a CSI faculty member).
    • A nine hours thesis project (under the supervision of a CSI faculty member)
  4. Complete an internship.
