Master's Program</title> </head><BODY BGCOLOR="#FFFFFF" LINK="#C00C0C" VLINK="#4C4C4C" ALINK="#000000"> <h1>Section 2. Master's Program</h1> The information in this section is intended for those students who wish to obtain an M.S. degree in computer science. Students who are interested in a Ph.D. degree should also read the description of the Ph.D. program, since it can influence the early choice of courses in an M.S. program.<p> Note that students whose ultimate objective is a Ph.D. degree should apply for direct or early admission to the Ph.D. program. Students in the Ph.D. program can apply to recieve an M.S. degree at some point in their work -- see <!WA0><a href="http://www.cs.uiowa.edu/graduate-handbook/section-3.html#section-3-14">Section 3.14</a>.<p> Students must file two forms in the semester when the M.S. degree is to be conferred: (1) an M.S. Plan of Study (obtained from and returned to the <!WA1><a href="http://www.cs.uiowa.edu/graduate-handbook/section-1.2.html#graduate-secretary">Graduate secretary</a>), and (2) an Application for the M.S. Degree (obtained from and returned to the Office of the Registrar). The Graduate College and Office of the Registrar strictly enforce these submission deadlines, which are posted in MacLean Hall and published in the <i>Schedule of Courses</i>. <a name="section-2-1"><h2>Section 2.1 Course Requirements</h2></a> The Department appoints an academic advisor for each student (see <!WA2><a href="http://www.cs.uiowa.edu/graduate-handbook/section-1.8.html#section-1.8">Section 1.8</a> for information on advisor assignment). The advisor and student will draw up a plan of study which conforms to the following requirements:<pre>22C:116, 122, 123, and 135, all with grades of at least B- 12 s.h.A 200-level 22C course 3 s.h.Additional graduate level 22C course 3 s.h.Six s.h. of graduate level 22C courses (or up to 9 s.h. of 22C:191) 6 to 9 s.h.Courses outside of Computer Science (as approved by advisor) 6 s.h. ------------- Total: 30 to 33 s.h.</pre> A graduate student must maintain a GPA of at least 3.0 and must receive a minimum grade of B- in 22C:116, 122, 123, and 135. <!WA3><a href="#section-2-3">Section 2.3, "Probation and Dismissal,"</a> has a complete description of the GPA requirements.<p> For the 200-level requirement, "Topics" or "Seminar" courses are acceptable; however, "Readings" or "Research" courses (e.g., 22C:290 and 299) cannot be used to fulfill the requirement (see <!WA4><a href="http://www.cs.uiowa.edu/graduate-handbook/appendix-c.html">Appendix C</a>). We strongly advise each M.S. candidate to take at least one of the courses that requires a substantial programming project (e.g., 22C:180 or 22C:127) or complete an individual project under 22C:198.<p> Projects undertaken in 200-level or other courses often lead to a choice for the student's individual topic for the M.S. Final Examination described in <!WA5><a href="#section-2-6">Section 2.6.</a></p> A student can use graduate transfer credit to substitute for up to 6 s.h. of these specific requirements. However, the <!WA6><a href="http://www.cs.uiowa.edu/graduate-handbook/section-1.2.html#section-1-7">Graduate Committee</a> must approve the transfer credit; acceptance of transfer credit by the Graduate College alone is not enough. To request approval from the Department, a student should submit a petition to the <!WA7><a href="http://www.cs.uiowa.edu/graduate-handbook/section-1.2.html#section-1-7">Graduate Committee</a> for the substitution. Students may obtain petition forms from the <!WA8><a href="http://www.cs.uiowa.edu/graduate-handbook/section-1.2.html#graduate-secretary">Graduate secretary</a> and submit them to the <!WA9><a href="http://www.cs.uiowa.edu/graduate-handbook/section-1.2.html#grad-committee-chair">Chair of the Graduate Program</a>. Petitions should indicate which course is to get transfer credit and which course it will substitute for, and for support they should include a course outline, the name of the authors of the textbooks, and the sections of those textbooks covered in class.<p> If a student has taken a course as an undergraduate that is equivalent to an M.S. required course, he or she may petition to waive the required course and substitute an additional graduate course in its place. However, the student cannot receive graduate credit for courses taken as an undergraduate.<p> Students must choose outside electives in consultation with an advisor. It is expected that the electives will have some quantitative content. Generally, students may not use graduate courses to fulfill this requirement that are cross-listed between the Department of Computer Science and other departments; students can use them, however, to fulfill the sequence within the department. <!WA10><a href="http://www.cs.uiowa.edu/graduate-handbook/appendix-b.html">Appendix B</a> shows a list of courses recommended as electives.<p> Any M.S. candidate who elects to write a thesis must identify a thesis supervisor, and with the supervisor's approval, identify a thesis topic. Generally, the thesis supervisor will also serve as the student's academic advisor (<!WA11><a href="http://www.cs.uiowa.edu/graduate-handbook/section-1.8.html#section-1-8">the student may request a change in advisors, if necessary</a>). The student, with the advisor's consent, may apply up to nine semester hours of Research for Thesis (22C:191) toward the degree requirements. (See also <!WA12><a href="#section-2-5">Section 2.5, M.S. Thesis Program</a>.)<p> The Department imposes no foreign language requirement.<p> The only S/U courses a student may count toward the 30-hour course requirement are those that are only offered on an S/U basis. <a name="section-2-2"><h2>Section 2.2 Credit Hour and Residency Requirements</h2></a> Each student must earn a minimum of 30 semester hours, with or without thesis, for the M.S. degree in Computer Science. He or she must complete at least 24 semester hours while under the auspices of The University of Iowa, and at least 8 semester hours while on campus. Credits that date back more than 10 years from the session in which the degree is to be conferred generally do not count toward fulfillment of degree requirements. <a name="section-2-3"><h2>Section 2.3 Probation and Dismissal</h2></a> Students in the master's program must maintain a grade point average (GPA) of at least 3.0 in courses leading to the M.S. degree. The GPA calculation will normally include all graduate Computer Science courses, and up to two graduate courses outside of Computer Science that are suitable to fulfill the outside elective sequence. For graduate students admitted on regular status, undergraduate Computer Science courses do not count towards the GPA, even those taken during graduate study. However, for students admitted on Conditional status, the GPA includes required undergraduate courses, but only for the first two semesters of graduate study.<p> For a student whose GPA falls below 3.0, the <!WA13><a href="http://www.cs.uiowa.edu/graduate-handbook/section-1.2.html#section-1-7">Graduate Committee</a> will place him or her on academic probation and send notification in writing. He or she must bring up the GPA to the minimum 3.0 within the next nine semester hours of course work or be dismissed from the program. In certain cases, the <!WA14><a href="http://www.cs.uiowa.edu/graduate-handbook/section-1.2.html#section-1-7">Graduate Committee</a> may require the student to complete a particular course of study with a particular GPA to qualify for removal from probation. A student on probation may not take the M.S. Final Examination, defend a thesis, or receive the M.S. degree.<p> Each student must earn a minimum grade of B- in the following courses: 22C:116, 22C:122, 22C:123, 22C:135. If a student fails to meet this standard, he or she may retake the course only once to bring the lower grade up to the required level. If a student does not attain the necessary grade after repeating a course once, the <!WA15><a href="http://www.cs.uiowa.edu/graduate-handbook/section-1.2.html#section-1-7">Graduate Committee</a> will drop him or her from the Master's program.<p> The Second-Grade-Only option applies only to undergraduates. Therefore, in computing a student's GPA, the Registrar's Office will include both grades for a repeated course. However, when computing a student's Computer Science GPA for consideration of probation, the Department includes only the second grade for a repeated course.<p> Students wishing a formal review of their dismissal should refer to <!WA16><a href="http://www.cs.uiowa.edu/graduate-handbook/appendix-g.html">Appendix G: Dismissal Review Procedure</a>. <a name="section-2-4"><h2>Section 2.4 Software Engineering Subtrack</h2></a>The Computer Science Department, with the Electrical and Computer The Computer Science Department, with the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department, offers a special subtrack in software engineering within the M. S. program (either thesis or non thesis programs). Students completing the subtrack receive a special designation on their degree and transcript. The <b>minimum</b> course requirements for the M.S. degree including the subtrack are:<pre>22C:116, 122, 123, and 135, all with grades of at least B- 12 s.h.22C:180, 181, 182, and 183, the required subtrack courses 12 s.h.A 200-level 22C course 3 s.h.Electives (non-thesis Program) 3 s.h.22C:191 (thesis 6-9 s.h. Total: 36-39 s.h.</pre> <a name="section-2-5"><h2>Section 2.5 M.S. Thesis Program</h2></a> The Department normally admits students to the non-thesis program. Students who wish to change degree options must file a Change of Status form with the Chair of the Graduate Committee. If the change is to the thesis program, the Change of Status form should be accompanied by a memo from the faculty member who has consented to serve as thesis supervisor.⌨️ 快捷键说明
