Graduate Catalog 2011-2013 - SUNY Institute of Technology

Master of Science in Computer and Information Science
• Students may transfer up to six credit hours, if applicable,
from another graduate program.
• Students may repeat at most two courses in which a “C”
grade or less was received.
• Students must maintain continuous registration, equal
to or greater than one credit while working on their final
thesis or project. MS Computer Science students completing
a thesis can do this by registering for CS 599 - Thesis for one
credit. Students completing a project can do this by registering
for CMT 600 - Continuous Registration. This may be taken
up to six semesters at which time it is expected that all
program requirements will have been met.
