MSCS Students CSC 311 Placement Test
It is required by the program curriculum that everyone needs to complete CSC311 (Data Structures) as a prerequisite to the program, no matter whether you have taken this course before. However, for those who have already possessed the knowledge of data structures, the department offers a Placement Test. If you take and pass the test, you can be waived of CSC311. Otherwise, you should enroll in a CSC311 section.
This semester, the CSC311 Placement Test will be held on January 16, 2025, Thursday, from 10am to 12pm on Canvas. The test questions consist of two parts: theoretical questions and programming questions. The first part will test your knowledge on concepts of various data structures and their operations and characteristics, including stacks, queues, lists, priority queues, heaps, hash tables, trees, and graphs. The second part will test your skills of programming on data structures and applications.

Research Experience for Undergraduates
NSF REU: Applied Computing Research coming Fall 2025
The program offers a unique opportunity for undergraduate students nation-wide, particularly to students of under-presented groups, to participate in applied computing research.
Our mission as a company is to play a role in improving Computer Science education. In line with this, we are sponsoring a scholarship to recognize Computer Science (or related Information Technology field) students who actively contribute to CS education within their universities and/or communities (as TAs/mentors, building tools, etc.). codePost was actually started as an undergrad project, so supporting students interested in contributing to Computer Science education means a lot to us as a company.
The only requirement is a 300-word essay answering the question “How have you advanced Computer Science (or related field) education at your university or within your community?” The winner will receive $500 towards their tuition. Both undergrads and grad students can apply.
