Arizona's Computer Science MS evaluates advanced preparation in systems, theory and mathematics as well as overall academic performance. It is a separate application from undergraduate admission and from other colleges' computing-related degrees. International applicants should check the department's fall admission route before assuming that a university-wide spring option applies.

Admission planning

A little clarity.
A better next step.

Admission planning

Academic eligibility

  • CS MS applicants should hold a CS or closely related undergraduate degree, with programming, calculus/discrete mathematics, systems and theory preparation.
  • The department gives 3.2/4.0 as a typical minimum undergraduate GPA guideline and makes GRE optional for Fall 2027 while strongly suggesting scores.
  • International degree equivalence and records remain subject to Graduate College review.

Admission planning

Language requirements

  • Graduate College examples are IELTS 7 overall with no subject below 6, PTE Academic 60 or TOEFL 4.0 for tests taken on/after January 21, 2026; departments may set higher expectations.
  • Graduate College does not accept DET.
  • The undergraduate policy separately accepts IELTS 6.5 and DET 110, so those undergraduate scores must not be applied to the MS.

Admission planning

Study intakes

  • For international CS MS applicants, fall is the standard entry route.
  • Spring applications are not accepted generally; current Arizona international students or international applicants already in Tucson should ask the graduate coordinator about the stated exception.

Admission planning

Application deadlines

  • The department lists October 15 opening and January 15 closing for international fall MS applications.
  • Verify the desired entry year in the application.
  • These are application dates, not class-start or immigration-document dates.

Admission planning

International tuition

  • Arizona's October 5, 2026 announcement freezes tuition and fees for all undergraduate and graduate students, including nonresident undergraduates, for fall 2027.
  • Request the CS MS fee schedule for the exact term and campus.
  • The 2026–27 financial-guarantee calculation is a one-academic-year estimate; programme charges, enrolment and other expenses determine the actual budget.

Admission planning

Scholarships & funding

  • Scholarship funding can support the financial guarantee when documented through an award letter.
  • Obtain the award's value, duration and programme eligibility before reducing a CS MS budget.
  • An undergraduate scholarship does not establish graduate eligibility, and funding should be confirmed separately from admission.
