Double M.S. Degree Program with Fachhochschule Karlsruhe, Germany
Banner graduate code: CSC


Description of the Program Requirements

The partner institutions agree that the Double Master's Degree Program is based on a strict equivalence of credits and student performance. Successful completion of the Double Master's Degree Program and eligibility for the two degrees named in Article I require the completion of a significant portion of both the two master's degree programs at the partner institutions as specified below.

Upon admission to the Double Master's Degree Program, a student must design a program of study approved by the graduate coordinator of the participating department. Every program of study must encompass a minimum of four semesters of full-time study at the graduate level. At EMU four semesters are counted as the equivalent of forty-eight (48) graduate credit hours, and at FHK-HT four semesters are counted as the equivalent of twelve (12) 6-hour blocks and one master's thesis semester. The partner institutions therefore agree on the following framework for suitable programs of study within their respective master's degree programs in order to accommodate students for the Double Master's Degree Program.

A student admitted to the Double Master's Degree Program by the Department of Computer Science with EMU as the home institution will receive master's degrees from both institutions when the following requirements are fulfilled:

  • Satisfactory completion of six classes (18 credit hours) of graduate studies in the Department of Computer Science at EMU. The classes must appear on an approved Program of Study based on Plan B (Research Study). For the specific requirements consult with the double degree program advisor.
  • Satisfactory completion of one semester of graduate studies, including four blocks of Multimedia Studies in the Fachbereich Informatik at FHK-HT. The blocks must appear on an approved Program of Study. For the specific requirements consult with the double degree program advisor.
  • Satisfactory completion of a one-semester internship including a master's thesis directed by a faculty member in the Fachbereich Informatik at FHK-HT.
