For full consideration, please complete your application by February 1 for admission in the upcoming Fall semester. The official deadline is April 1 each year, but if our incoming class reaches its allocated size we may be unable to admit qualified applicants whose applications come in later. The Department of Computer Science does not require that applicants hold a bachelor's degree in Computer Science.
However, applicants are expected to have a strong background in Computer Science. Applicants are also expected to have taken several but not necessarily all courses in specialized areas:. A year of college-level Calculus is also required. In general, experience gained working is not considered equivalent to successful completion of the courses listed above. There is no minimum GPA required for admission. However, most applicants who are offered admission to our program have a GPA of at least 3.
The grades in Computer Science, mathematics and related courses are more important than the overall GPA. If possible, letters of references should be written by faculty at a university previously attended. Letters of reference from Computer Science faculty are preferred, but references from employers are welcome. References should pay particular attention to academic achievements and evidence of independent, creative problem solving. If you received a 4-year degree at an English-speaking institution whether or not the institution is in the U.
Scores can be sent electronically to UVa at institution code B Applications are evaluated in their entirety. A weakness in one factor might be mitigated by strength in another. We do not offer full financial aid to Masters students, but will often award small financial fellowships. There is no need to submit a separate application to qualify for these fellowships as they will be awarded based on a review of your submitted application materials. If awarded, you will be given details at the time of your notification of acceptance into the Computer Science Masters program.
PhD students are usually admitted with a financial aid package in the form of a First-Year Research Assistantship that allows students to explore research with various faculty members and find their best match. It is expected that students will join a research group by the end of their first year and then be supported as a Research Assistant RA.
This financial aid package includes a competitive stipend, tuition, fees, and health insurance coverage. Details of this award are given at the time of your notification of acceptance into the Computer Science PhD program. You are encouraged to apply to outside sources for fellowships or you can apply for federal assistance by filling out a Free Application for Federal Student Aid. Please visit this Web page to apply. International students must have an outstanding command of the English language in order to enroll at the University of Virginia.
We review all applications thoroughly, along a number of dimensions. There is not a specific code for the Department of Computer Science. If I apply will these scores make it into my application and be seen by the admissions committee?
We will start evaluating applications soon after the Dec 15 deadline. Applicants should submit the most complete application they can, based on the information they have at the time e. Those applications that are complete will be considered first. We will continue to evaluate applications into early next year, until we have completed our offers. As we are reviewing applications, we will certainly consider updated scores as the arrive at the University of Virginia. There is no need to email us to tell us that new scores are being sent.
We strongly discourage applicants from mailing in any items that can be uploaded to avoid delays in your application review, and we ask that you not send duplicate copies of previously uploaded documents. Why does my application status still show as incomplete? We will fully review your application with unofficial test scores and unofficial transcripts. Your application will only show as "complete" when your application has been submitted, your official scores and transcripts have been received and all three letters of recommendations have been received.
An application is complete for review with unofficial transcripts and self-reported scores, though the checklist will still show incomplete. Please note that all official transcripts are received in our main admissions office and scanned or entered into our system manually. It is very likely that your materials have been received, but have not been loaded into our application system yet.
If I email you my information e. The graduate admissions committee considers many factors in an application, including more than just GPA and test scores. In particular, letters of reference and your personal statement are extremely important.
Therefore, we are unfortunately unable to provide any information before the committee considers your full application. For application support and specific questions regarding the application process, please contact: Central Graduate Admissions gseasadmission virginia.
The graduate certificate in cyber-physical systems CPS is designed to recognize the acquisition of CPS knowledge and skills through the completion of targeted courses. Visit the Link Lab page for details. Note that no student is required to complete a Masters in only 1 year — in fact, most students take 1. How do the programs differ? Every Masters student has the same rules or privileges.
The requirements are the same for all Masters students. Note that students are required to apply. What is the GPA requirement to apply to the program? There is no minimum GPA required.
As with all applications received by the department, the application will be evaluated in its entirely, and frequently one aspect of the application can be stronger than another aspect.
Do I need to specify in my application that I am applying for this special program? If so, where do I specify this? How many UVA students are you going to offer admission to in this program? Matt Dwyer. In addition to excelling in traditional research areas within computer science, we believe that many important research challenges lie at the boundary of computer science and other disciplines. With exceptional strength in experimental systems and applied research, our researchers are blazing new trails.
In this section you will find information to help with your transition to graduate school and to Charlottesville. When students arrive they will attend an informative orientation led by the department that will help them become familiar with all of the resources we have to offer here in the Department of Computer Science. This is also a time for new students to meet other students as well as faculty. Typically this orientation is held within a week prior to the first day of the fall semester.
View the virtual orientation schedule. All new international students holding all non-immigrant statuses are required to bring their legal documents and proof of the orientation quiz completion to the ISO upon your arrival in Charlottesville. This is required so that the ISO can determine your legal status and make copies for our records as required by U. Each student will receive 3 different ID's at the University. But this is completely at the discretion of the admission committee.
The response time for late applications may be delayed and late applications may not receive full consideration, especially for financial support. Applicants to the CS graduate program are eligible for admission only if they do not already have a graduate degree of the same or higher level in Computer Science. We will waive the application fees for a limited number of PhD applicants who have difficulty in paying the fees.
If you wish to be considered for this waiver, please complete your graduate admission application, but not submit it. Then submit a separate fee waiver application via this form. We will get back to you very promptly with our decision about the waiver and any subsequent instructions.
Unfortunately, we cannot waive or refund fees already paid. For any questions, reach out to us at graduate cs. All students admitted on a full-time basis to the Ph. Students admitted to the M. Information regarding tuition, fees, and other costs can be found here. For MS , we prefer students with CS or related degrees. Applicants with exceptional promise who lack CS preparation in one or more core areas may be admitted to the program, but will be required to take additional CS courses as specified in their offer letter.
The Department of Computer Science values diversity and makes admission decisions based on individual merit. Program Ph. Notes: Domestic student applications for Spring will be accepted until December 01,
