| A. The qualifications
can be found on the Graduate
School Admissions Overview Page. Minimum requirements for the M.S. in Computer
Science are discussed in the computer
science page. If you have any questions about your background
in computer science, we would be glad to discuss this with you; please
contact the department for advice (address/phone below). Also see the Graduate
School's FAQ.

| A. You can apply online at
https://app.applyyourself.com/AYApplicantLogin/ApplicantConnectLogin.asp?id=uncgr-g.
Alternatively, an application

| A. Tuition and fee rates are set by the UNC Board of Governors
and depend on residence status. Costs for
out-of-state students are significantly higher for than for residents of
North Carolina.
Complete information about in-state tuition status, and tuition and fees is
given on the Graduate School's web page at

A: Yes, but be sure
that the course you take corresponds to the required course in our list
of minimun entry requirements (if in doubt, check with the Director of
Graduate Studies in the Computer Science Department). For NC A&T here is the table of equivalences
for the undergraduate prerequisites for our M.S. program.

| A. The Graduate Bulletin
states: "A TOEFL score (minimum 550 for the written test, or minimum 213
for the computer test) is required unless the applicant is a citizen of
a country, or graduate of a university, where English is the official language."
Nonresidential aliens must also provide a certification of financial support
for a minimum of one year.
|
| A. Yes, this is possible.
Usually students complete their English study in their home country before
applying for admission. It is also possible, however, for students to be
admitted to one of our master's programs with the conditions among others that they improve their English skills by study with INTERLINK
(for anywhere from nine weeks to one year), and passing the TOEFL exam.
|
| A. Yes, May 15 (Fall)
and September 15 (Spring). For more discussion see an informal
discussion from our point of view.
|
| A. The financial
support documents are needed only for issuance of the immigration form
I-20 (application for F1 student status); so it is not absolutely necessary
to send the financial support documents with the application. However,
be aware that it can save time when the financial documents are in hand
at the time of the admission decision. When the
International Student &
Scholar Services section of The UNCG Office
of International Programs has the financial forms in advance, they can
issue the I-20 immediately upon confirmation of admission. If they do not
have the financial documents in hand, they cannot issue the I-20 until
the student provides the necessary evidence of financial support.

A. UNCG has Visions (an acronym for "Visiting Students and Non-degree Seeking students") registration
for adults who already have a college degree, and want to take undergraduate
or graduate courses before applying to graduate school (or without pursuing
a degree). Such a student may register as a Graduate Special Student (also
called Post-baccalaureate Unclassified Student). Advice on what courses
should be taken in preparation for degree programs is available in the
Department of Computer Science. The Visions registration form and instructions
can be found at http://grs.uncg.edu/visions/.
Complete the form, and mail it directly to the Graduate School Office
along with the enrollment fee.
For more information on registration restrictions and costs, please
see the Graduate School's
Visions web page.
Visions students may apply for admission to one of
our graduate programs, and in most cases may transfer up to nine
credit hours of graduate level Visions courses into a graduate program. The Graduate
School regulation covering this transfer of credits states a student must
clearly have qualified for admission at the time the credit was earned,
and obtain the written recommendation of the major department and the approval
of the Dean of The Graduate School. Also keep in mind that Visions credit transferred into
a degree program is limited by the standard time-limit of 5 years for completing
the degree.
Visions students cannot preregister; so there is
the possibility that some of the popular undergraduate and beginning graduate
courses will be full at the time of registration. If this happens, you
need permission of the course instructor to enroll in the class.
Contact the department
or e-mail the instructor to set up an appointment. All
applicants should note that the Visions program is not a degree program,
and foreign applicants should note that the Visions program does not meet
the requirements for being in the USA on an F-1 visa.
|
| A. Yes. The GRE score
is used along with other application materials to determine admission to
the programs; there is, however, no minimum GRE score require. The
Computer Science master's program requires only the general portion of the GRE.
For more information about the GRE see www.gre.org
and www.ets.org The GRE is offered at
Prometric Testing (previoulsy called Sylvan Center) 3 Centerview Drive,
Suite 248, Greensboro, NC 27407 (336-854-4230) and elsewhere.
Prometric Testing is not affiliated with
UNCG — check with them for current fees and procedures.
