To be eligible for the Master of Science in Computer Science at the University of Colorado Denver, applicants should hold a bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a closely related field. A minimum GPA of 3.0 out of 4.0 is required. Candidates from other academic backgrounds may need to complete foundational computer science courses during their first year. Prerequisite knowledge in programming and mathematics, including Calculus I & II and an advanced math course (e.g., Linear Algebra or Probability), is essential. The GRE is not mandatory; however, submitting scores (preferably 300+) is recommended for applicants with a GPA below 3.0.
