Application Information

You may apply to the BS/MS program at different points in your undergraduate studies. Most students apply at the end of their junior years after completing all required 300-level CSE courses. A small number apply later, while finishing senior-level requirements or even after graduating. However, all students must begin graduate coursework within one year of receiving their bachelor's degrees. If you are unsure when to apply, please contact a CSE advisor.

Requirements

Your application requires the following components:

  • Statement of Purpose.  Your statement should be no longer than one page.  Topics to address include: (1) Why are you interested in pursuing a combined BS/MS?  (2) What specific aspects of the program interest you, such as areas of study? (3) What makes you a good candidate for this program?
  • References.  List three CSE faculty members or affiliate faculty as references.  Please list no more than one faculty member for whom you were a TA; the two others should be faculty you know through classwork or research. It is courteous to ask faculty members before listing them as references.
  • Transcripts:  Upload a copy of your UW unofficial transcript (use the "printer-friendly" version from MyUW).
  • Resume:  You have the option to upload a current resume.
  • MyCSE:  Confirm that your MyCSE profile is up-to-date, including scholarships, co-ops/internships, and research.

There is no fee for students completing the initial CSE BS/MS application. Students admitted to the BS/MS program must complete the UW Grad School application and pay an application fee as well as an enrollment fee once they become a graduate student (due before tuition).
