Scholarships to Encourage the Transition from Undergraduate Computer Science to Master of Software Engineering

这个项目是给大学里有学术天赋和经济困难的学生颁发奖学金？的软件工程硕士课程。理学硕士课程是威斯康星州唯一的同类课程，填补了该地区对软件工程高级学位专业人员的需求。有两个课程路径的学生在该计划。第一条途径是为以前完成学士学位的学生提供标准的两年制研究生学位。的程度。第二条道路是一个快速通道计划，让学生在五年内完成本科和研究生课程。奖学金支持学生在这两个轨道。代表性不足群体的妇女和学生是特别需要支助的对象。作为研究生课程的一部分，学生们正在参加与教师的指导活动。该地区的校友和行业领袖也为该计划的学生提供榜样，提供研讨会和就业机会。

This project is awarding scholarships to academically talented and financially needy students in the university?s Master of Science in Software Engineering program. The Master of Science program is the only one of its kind in Wisconsin and fills a regional need for professionals with advanced degrees in software engineering. There are two curricular paths for students in the program. The first path is a standard two-year graduate degree for students who have previously completed a Bachelor?s degree. The second path is a fast-track program for students to complete both an undergraduate and graduate program within five years. The scholarships are supporting students in both tracks. Women and students from underrepresented groups are being especially targeted for support. The students are participating in mentoring activities with faculty as part of their graduate program. Alumni and industry leaders in the region are also serving as role models to the students in the program, providing seminars and employment opportunities.
