UMSL Cyber Start Grant for Fall 2020 - Under this scheme, F1 international students who are unable to report to campus this fall due to COVID19 are able to pay a reduced rate of tuition. • This will only be for the Fall 2020 semester as the students should be on campus in Spring 2021 paying regular rates. • Any UMSL Global scholarship awarded for Fall 2020 would be deferred until Spring 2021. • Students must be enrolled in a degree program conducive to online learning.

The Integrated BS/MS ("2+3") dual degree program involves dual credit for qualified undergraduate Computer Science students. It allows the students to concurrently earn credit for some graduate courses while working on their undergraduate degree, reducing the total hours needed for the subsequent MS degree by up to 12 credit hours.

Degree Requirements - 2+3 Program CS

After transitioning from provisional acceptance to formal acceptance into the program, the student continues to complete his/her undergraduate degree. The student is reclassified as a graduate student from the following semester and must pay graduate fees. Form this point on the student is eligible for all benefits available to the graduate students including Graduate Teaching Assistantship (GTA) or Graduate Research Assistantship (GRA). The student will be assigned a graduate adviser to help optimize the transition to the graduate program. The student continues taking the undergraduate courses but is also allowed to take courses reserved for graduate students. The student completes all the courses to fulfill the requirements to complete his/her M.S. degree in Computer Science – but must also complete the undergraduate requirements. Up to 12 credit hours can be counted towards both the undergraduate and graduate degrees. The student will be awarded both the BS and MS degrees at the same time at the conclusion of the program.

A student may file for and receive the undergraduate degree at any time when all the requirements for BS are completed, by resigning from the 2+3 program. A student must still complete all the requirements to get a B.S. degree, regardless of whether the student files for the degree or not. A student may choose to finish the studies just with a B.S.
