To be eligible for admission, a student must have a Bachelor of Science degree with a minimum GPA of 3.0 on a 4.0 scale and have completed the following undergraduate coursework:
 
  • Calculus I and II (equivalent to the NJIT courses Math 111 and Math 112)
  • Introduction to Programming (equivalent to the NJIT CS 100 course)
  • Basic programming constructs, writing and debugging programs, iteration, recursion, arrays, lists (equivalent to NJIT CS 113)
  • Data Structures and Algorithms (equivalent to the NJIT CS 114 course)
  • Probability and Statistics (equivalent to the NJIT Math 333 course)
  • Linear Algebra (equivalent to the NJIT Math 337 course)
 
Students who do not meet all of the above requirements but hold a BS or BA degree in a technical scientific subject will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis and may be admitted to the program after they successfully complete a relevant graduate certificate in Artificial Intelligence, which provides a pathway to the MS program. Earning the certificate with a GPA of 3.0 or higher guarantees admission to the MS program.
