Accelerated Bachelor's-Master's in Computer Science
What is the ABM Program in Computer Science?
The ABM program allows enrolled CSIT students (juniors or seniors) to take up to 9 graduate credits, which can count not only toward their undergraduate degree, but also towards their future graduate degree, if they later apply and are accepted into UDC’s MSCS program.
What is the benefit?
Having these 9 credits double count saves both money and time for graduate school.
