Overview

The BA/MA program in Computer Science at Wesleyan University requires six one-semester courses including the Advanced Research Seminars (COMP549 and COMP550). These courses may include individual and/or group tutorials and should be chosen with the permission of the department's Graduate Education Committee. Two semesters of full-time study beyond obtaining a Computer Science BA from Wesleyan are usually needed to complete the requirements for the MA degree.

Key facts

MA students receiving a graduate stipend must serve as teaching assistants for 10 hours per week during the fall and spring academic semesters. Those who do not receive a stipend are also eligible to work as teaching assistants. Guided by a faculty advisor, master’s candidates produce a thesis based on independent research and study of the current topical literature. In the final defense of their thesis, the candidate is expected to exhibit an expert command of the chosen specialty and a high degree of expository skill along with indications of original insight.
