Effective Fall 2025, new and continuing Computer Science, MS students have a course-based option, which does not require a culminating experience. This option is available for CS, MS students (no concentration) as well as for students with concentrations in Cybersecurity and Big Data Systems. It is not available for concentrations in Biomedical Informatics or Media Arts and Sciences. Students must maintain a minimum 3.0 for all GPAs and satisfy all course requirements of the program.
Students admitted prior to Fall 2025 will not see this degree requirement option in the iPOS (Degree Requirements tab); however, students may choose to follow the new catalog requirement option, and "opt-out" of the old portfolio requirement by completing the "Portfolio Opt-Out" form for advising. The next step depends on if your iPOS is approved or not:
If your iPOS is APPROVED: Once added to the Portfolio canvas course, you will need to complete and upload the agreement form during your graduating semester. You will not have access to the Portfolio Canvas course until the semester in which you APPLY for graduation.
If your iPOS is NOT APPROVED: Advising will submit a change to move you to the 2025-2026 catalog and you will then submit your initial iPOS, which will have the new requirements programmed in. In this scenario, it is not necessary to complete the agreement form.
