The Department of Computer Science offers MS students the opportunity to test out of our bridge foundation courses, COMP 501 (SWE 510), COMP 502 (INFS 519), COMP 503 (INFS 519), and COMP 511 (INFS 519), as well as the courses CS 530 and CS 531 that are required for MS CS students.

The exams are given each January and August. It is important to note that you will be permitted to take each exam one time only before you begin your first semester. If you fail the test out exams, you will be required to take your foundation courses in your first semester to successfully fulfill your provisional requirements before you begin the core curriculum for your program.
