The College of Charleston offers a Bachelor of Science/Master of Science in Computer and Information Sciences program. For selected students, permitting up to 12 credit hours of graduate-level course work taken as an undergraduate to count towards both the Bachelor of Science in Computer Science degree and the Master of Science in Computer and Information Sciences degree allows for the design of a plan for completing a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science degree and a Master of Science in Computer and Information Sciences degree in five years.

An undergraduate student in the five-year plan taking a graduate level course for both undergraduate and graduate credit would in every respect be treated as a graduate student in the course. Students enrolled in this program typically complete their M.S. degree within one calendar year after receiving the B.S. The combined degree is designed to integrate undergraduate-and graduate-level coursework and research and to give the selected students an outstanding preparation for entering a Ph.D. program in computer and information sciences or related fields.
