Application Materials

To be considered for Tulane’s online MS in Computer Science program, you must first create an account through our application system. A completed application must include:

  • Transcripts from each institution where credit was earned, even if a degree was not conferred. Unofficial transcripts are permissible for the application, but official copies will be required upon admission. 
  • Two references, ideally including one professional and one academic reference. Two academic or two professional references are suitable for review.
  • A personal statement.
  • A current resume or CV.
  • A $50 application fee.

Language test scores (TOEFL or IELTS) are strongly recommended, but not required, if your bachelor’s or master’s degree was earned at an institution outside of the United States where English was not the language of instruction.

A minimum 3.0 GPA is encouraged, but not required to apply. 

Once admitted, students must pay a $250 nonrefundable deposit to reserve their seat in the cohort. This fee will count toward their first semester’s tuition payment.
