The Computer Science department offers a three semester Masters of Arts degree in Computer Science for students who have completed a BA or BS in Computer Science or a closely related field. Students who have BA or BS in a different field are eligible to apply for the Combined MA/Post-baccalaureate program in Computer Science which is a four semester program in which the students complete the requirements for an undergraduate degree in Computer Science during the first year (and receive a post-baccalaureate certificate).

Applying to the program

All students who have completed a Bachelor's degree in a Computer Science or a closely related field are able to apply to the Master Program in Computer Science. To apply for the program, you need to submit transcripts from your undergraduate degree, two letters of recommendation, a statement of purpose and complete an application to the graduate school, available at http://www.brandeis.edu/gsas/apply/.

Tuition

The tuition and fees are set by the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences ( http://www.brandeis.edu/gsas ). There are several sources of financial aid available. Computer Science students normally receive a 50% scholarship.
