Frequently Asked Questions

Get all your questions answered about Master of Science in Applied Computer Science by GWSEAS

The Master of Science in Computer Science is an on-campus program that requires mathematical prerequisites for admission due to the theoretical nature of the program content. The Applied Computer Science program is focused on hands-on, practical software development skills for the workplace.
Students must have a Bachelor’s degree in any field and the three prerequisite programming courses (or equivalent coursework). Students can take CSCI 6002 as the third course in the programming sequence at GW during a summer session. Students who elect to do so will be allowed to count CSCI 6002 towards their MS in ACS degree. Applicants wanting to take CSCI 6002 during the summer must submit a complete application by May 1st in order to be considered for summer admission.
At the fastest pace, students can take three courses per semester and complete in one and half years. However, most students are likely to be working professionals and can take as few as one course per semester, in which case the duration will be just over three years
The three courses (programming, data structures, object oriented programming) are typically offered in many community colleges. In the Washington, D.C. area, many of the area’s largest community colleges offer these courses: Northern Virginia Community College, Montgomery Community College, Howard Community College, Prince George’s County Community College
The first course in the program, CSCI 6003, is designed to review critical material and identify gaps in students’ backgrounds.
