*The 4+1 Combined Degree program is a two-semester plus two-semester program. The CS BS degree must be completed in 8 semesters (or fewer). A student who can complete their BS in fewer than 8 semesters would be required to complete the combined program in fewer semesters. The program must have two semesters of a combined year and two semesters for the MS year. No exceptions.
