These requirements are in addition to the general requirements for admission:

Matriculation is based on merit as judged by the Graduate Admissions Committee of the department.
The committee will expect each candidate for matriculation to have an adequate mathematics background, including integral calculus, probability and statistics, and discrete mathematical structures.
Matriculation requirements also include a working knowledge of at least one high-level, object-oriented programming language (some courses, including core courses, require knowledge of specific languages; consult the department for current requirements), assembly language programming, data structures, principles of programming languages, operating systems, computer organization, and theory of computation. A candidate who is partially deficient in the above requirements may, at the discretion of the Admissions Committee, be admitted subject to the requirement that the deficiencies be rectified. Appropriate means to fulfill this requirement are provided by the department. Courses taken to meet admissions deficiencies do not count toward the credit requirements for the degree; the average (mean) grade in these courses must be at least B (3.0), and each one of these courses must be completed with a grade of B– or better.
