For Category 1 students: (Students with a BA or BS needing prerequisite courses)

Any student interested in taking the on-line prerequisites must contact Dr. Allen (allenro@ecu.edu) on March 1 of each year, for the following fall semester. Only 20 students are allowed to take the prerequisite courses on-line. So, the first 20 students to email Dr. Allen on March 1 AND who meet the GPA and GRE criteria, will be selected for the prerequisites and subsequenlty notified. The undergraduate GPA must be at least 3.0 and the GRE scores must be at least 800 (combined Verbal and Quantitative). These will need to be verified by sending transcripts and the GRE scores directly to Dr. Allen, once the student is notified of a seat in the prerequisites.

Once notified of having a seat in the prerequsisites, the student must (1) apply to the ECU graduate school as a non-dregree seeking student (application forms may be found at http://www.ecu.edu/cs-acad/gradschool/applicationinfo.cfm) and (2) fill out the Non-degree Seeking Student Request form which is sent to you by Dr. Allen once selected as one of the 20 students in the prerequisites.
