  Be prepared for the assessment test (See SAMPLE ASSESSMENT TEST)   In addition, The CS Department will conduct explicit ASSESSMENT TEST (outlined below) of students admitted to determine which courses must be taken as prerequisites prior to beginning any courses for your graduate program.

1. Object Oriented Programming in Java (2 hours - programming test at the level of CS202 / CS203)
2. Web Programming (3 hours - programming test at the level of CS320)
3. Short answer competency test (1 hour – at the level of CS312,  CS386)
4. Students are expected to have completed a large project and be prepared to make a (5 minutes/30 minutes) presentation at the level of CS491AB (http://cs.calstatela.edu/abet/cs491/index.html)
