To be eligible for UCLA's MS in Computer Science, applicants must hold a bachelor's degree in computer science or a closely related field such as electrical engineering, mathematics, statistics, or physics. A minimum GPA of 3.0 out of 4.0 is required, with a competitive edge for those having at least a 3.5 in their junior and senior years. Strong foundational knowledge in areas like algorithms, operating systems, computer architecture, and programming languages is expected.
