Master's vs 4+1 | Graphics courses | Computer Science @ Cal Poly SLO

Hi guys! I got the chance to interview one of my good friends, Sydney. She did her undergrad in software engineering with an emphasis in graphics courses at Cal Poly SLO. And now she is enrolled in the 4+1 program for computer science. She and I discuss the difference between majoring in computer science and software engineering as well as the difference between undergrad classes and master's classes. Sydney also goes over the difference between enrolling in the master's program vs the 4 + 1 program. If you are interested in studying graphics or getting your master's, then I hope this video helps you gain some insight.
A rough draft of her thesis project: • Eye of Metamorphosis
4+1 Program at Cal Poly: academicprograms.calpoly.edu/...
Graduate Program: me.calpoly.edu/graduate-programs
Thanks for watching and huge thank you to Sydney for letting me interview her! :)

Great video! I am thinking to apply at cal poly for ms in cs as international student. But thr is very less info(for international students) about it do you know what is average GPA, GRE and TOEFL score? And from what i saw we need 45 credits to get masters degree compare to 30 from other unis. Is it true?

Hi Roshan, thank you! I just looked myself and you are right. The school does not seem to post average GPA or much other information.
I did see this: "Admission to Cal Poly is highly selective and competitive in all majors. While GPA and test scores are important, it is impossible to predict a candidate’s chances by looking at these statistics alone. We encourage students to apply to the program they feel best fits their academic and professional goals."
I would suggest that you email an advisor for more information. Find the graduate advisor for your program here: grad.calpoly.edu/about/coordinators.html.
Here is more info about the grad program: www.calpoly.edu/admissions/graduate-student/selection-criteria
I am not sure about the number of credits for the masters degree. I am sure the advisor will be able to answer that though.
Best of luck! :)

@@tejasvichalamcherla149 Thank you so much for information. Do you happen to know any international master's student? Whom i can contact with? It will be a big help.

@@SuperRoshan27 I don't actually know any international master's student. If you have a facebook, I think there are some groups for cal poly students (example: Cal poly class of 2021). You may have some luck posting there and asking if anyone is an international master's student that can help answer some of your questions.
