Combined Bachelor and Master of Science in Computer Science
The Combined Bachelor and Master degree program in Computer Science now offers a streamlined program designed to be completed in 5 years resulting in the student graduating with both a Bachelor of Science and a Master of Science degree in Computer Science. The curriculum includes the study of algorithms and data structures, programming languages, software methodology and tools, and data management and analysis. During their 4th year students will start taking classes that will build toward their Master of Science Degree in the areas of theory and applications of computing.

High School Students
Academic Advantage Program
Wright State University has an innovative program called the Academic Advantage Program, or AAP designed just for first-year students coming directly from high school who plan to study engineering or computer science. AAP helps transition students from high school to college and allows them to hone skills that are important to meeting the challenges of a first year university student.
You'll have the opportunity to get to know other students in your freshman class, become familiar with the campus and the Russ Engineering Center, and brush up on your math and science skills before classes begin.
High School Programming Contest
Every year the Department of Computer Science and Engineering, teamed with the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) offer high school students a chance to see what Computer Science is all about at our High School Programming Contest. Students compete to see which team can solve some of the most challenging programming problems our judges come up with, (while enjoying pizza and pop in the process).
Frequently Asked Questions
What kind of computer do I need?
What kind of computer do I need?
Wright State University offers several 24-hour computer labs across campus which any student may use, but it is often a good idea for students to have their own computer. Whether you are looking for the portability of a laptop or the sheer power of an awesome gaming desktop, a few minimum system requirements will help when making this purchase.
Most processors now have multiple cores so just about any multi-core processor will do. A minimum of 4GB of memory (RAM) is recommended since many programs used in our classes will make use of at least this much. As for hard drive space, a minimum of 120GB is recommended to support all applications needed for class and possibly the ability to install another operating system (Linux) for use in some of our higher level classes.
