Texas a&m university – commerce
DEPARTMENT OF COMPUTER SCIENCE:
Admission requirements for COMPUTER SCIENCE OR COMPUTATIONAL SCIENCE
1) GRE
is not required
2) IELTS
or TOEFL is required (IELTS minimum 6.5)
3) Transcripts
4) Recommendation
letters
5) Statement
of purpose
6) Graduate
application and its fee (fee paid during online filling of application)
COMPUTER SCIENCE:
In computer science course you
have to take a total of 14 courses in which 2 course are of pre requisite. It
means there will be an exam on C/C++ and Micro processor on the day of
departmental orientation which will be mostly on the normal orientation day
itself. If you clear these exams then there is no need of taking these courses,
means you will be taking only 12 courses. Each course will be costing you
around 2000 dollars. These courses will be some online and some face to face
but you has to take a minimum of two course face to face so as to maintain your
visa status ( F1).COMPUTATIONAL SCIENCE:
In computational science course
you will be having a total of 13 courses in which on 1 course is prerequisite.
It means there will be an exam on C/C++ on the day of departmental orientation
which will be mostly on the normal orientation day itself. If you clear this
exam then there is no need of taking this course, means you will be taking on
12 courses. In this also each course will be costing you around 2000 dollars.
These course will be some online and some face to face but you must take a
minimum of two course which are face to face so as to maintain your visa status
(F1).
Difference between COMPUTER SCIENCE AND COMPUTATIONAL SCIENCE:
As I said in above paragraphs in
both the cases if you clear your prerequisites then you will be having only 12
courses that you have to complete. As I am into computational science, I will
be giving more information on computational
science only and also you will be
see most of the students will be changing their course from computer science to
computation science because of the following reason.
·
In computational science out of 12 courses you
will be having an option of taking 2 courses as your CPT (CURRICULAR PRACTICAL
TRAINGING), means you will be eligible to work as Internship. This is unlike to
OPT (OPTIONAL PRACTICAL TRAINING). Here it means you will be taking only 10
courses from college and 2 as an internship but you will be paying for 12
courses.
·
The most benefit is that you will be getting at
least 9 months as CPT and 17 months of OPT which will be a total of 26 months
of legal job you will be gaining.
·
Coming to course subjects, in computer science
you will be dealing with only computer science subjects like programming
languages, hardware related topics. Whereas in computational science, really
deals with research oriented, in this you will be having electives related to
biology, mathematics, and physics departments.
·
Compared to computer science – computational science
is easy.
