Master of Science
Admission: All applicants are required to have a B.S. degree in
Computer Engineering or a related field of science and engineering.
All Turkish citizens must take the ALES (Akademik Personel ve Lisansustu
Egitimi Giris Sinavi - Academic Personnel and Postgraduate Education
Entrance Examination) and have a minimum of 55 points in the
quantitative section of the exam. GRE scores are required for

Degree Requirements:
In addition to at least 24 credit units of course work, the M.S. degree
candidate must take one research course, and prepare and successfully defend a thesis.
The normal duration of M.S. study is four semesters. However, this may be extended for up to two more
semesters upon approval of the Graduate Institute.
Doctor of Philosophy
Admission: All applicants are required to have a B.S. degree or
a M.S. degree in
