Drexel's quarter-based Computer Science route includes a BS and an accelerated BS/MS option with cooperative education. The combined route requires a later internal application after undergraduate study; it is not an automatic master's place for a new first-year applicant. Compare direct graduate admission separately if you already hold a bachelor's degree.

Admission planning

Language requirements

  • Confirm the score required for the chosen programme and entry route.

Admission planning

Study intakes
