The discussion revolves around the prospects of a math major gaining admission to a computer science graduate program, particularly focusing on the implications of their academic background in mathematics and limited coursework in computer science.
Participants generally agree that the chances of admission depend on the specific program and that additional coursework may be necessary, but there is no consensus on the exact requirements or likelihood of acceptance.
Participants express uncertainty regarding the specific prerequisites for different programs and the variability in admissions criteria across institutions.
Math majors considering a transition to computer science graduate programs, admissions advisors, and students exploring interdisciplinary studies in mathematics and computer science.
It depends on the school, you need to talk to admissions people. The fields overlap enough that some places may take you in, but they'll probably require you to take some undergrad compsci courses to catch up.oab729 said:what are the chances for getting into a good computer science grad program for a math major (who's finished the first two years of graduate math courses) but who's only taken two computer science courses (software development and problem-solving using haskell).
Same deal.oab729 said:wat about for masters programs
