转专业申请,你真的准备好了么?

但!转专业的准备真的做好了么?转专业之所以难,难在准备的内容要比本专业继续深造的要多,简要概括为:
- At least 1 year of university-level science.
- A working knowledge of a high-level, general-purpose programming language (preferably C++).
- A basic understanding of computer fundamentals such as computer organization and operation, data structures, and computer architecture.
- Demonstrated ability to communicate in written and spoken English is required for regular status (see below). Foreign students and others for whom English is a second language may be required to undertake preparatory work to improve their language skills.
Students entering with a bachelor’s in computer science or with a bachelor’s in a technical area and a strong minor in computer science should be able to satisfy entrance requirements for the master’s degree program. Generally, entering students are expected to know mathematics through calculus.
学校需要学生对编程具有一定程度的积累,并需要其对数据结构等CS基础知识有了解。同时对于申请的学生,微积分的能力也是学校考量的一个因素。这些要求对于本科是CS,或者偏计算机(如软工等)专业的学生,学校的课程显然是满足的。但对于非CS专业的学生,要满足这些前置课程显然会比较困难。因此不仅仅需要学生有对计算机的热情,同时还需要有能够量化的成绩,成果。
Students who are lacking the computer science skills needed for the Computer Science Master's Degree are encouraged to enroll into the preparatory Bridge to NYU Tandon Program. Pending satisfactory completion, students would be considered for admission towards the master's degree program.
前置课程的要求同样会在诸如土木,材料,会计等等在本科就需要有一定知识积累的专业中出现。因此学生想要转专业,越早有目标进行了解和规划,准备的时间便会越多,转专业的难度也会相对降低
