A bachelor's degree with a cumulative 3.0 GPA on all courses taken is required. It is expected that students will have obtained a broad general education to serve as a background prior to their graduate study. Undergraduate course work in mathematics and in basic and applied sciences is strongly encouraged. Official scores from the Graduate Record Examination must be submitted prior to admission.
Overall GPA: 3.0 for acceptance by the graduate school
Coursework entry: Students must enter all college courses taken in the United States in the Academic History section of the CSDCAS application. Because this includes repeated, failed, and withdrawn courses, coursework entry will take students an average of 1-2 hours to complete.
