<p>Thanks for the advice. I did consider that route, and i’ll look into it again, but based on an info session and a talk with my advisor I believe the new masters in c.s. program has different rules.</p>
<p>[The</a> MS program in Computer Science](<a href=“http://www.csd.cs.cmu.edu/education/master/index.html]The”>M.S. in Computer Science | Carnegie Mellon University Computer Science Department)</p>
<p>While I can’t find it anywhere on the page, I was told that at most 2 courses (24 units) could carry over from my undergraduate study to the masters program. My plan for this semester has been to take the last 2 classes i need to finish my degree, and then a couple easy-ish CS electives to overflow some of the graduate level courses I have already taken to count for the masters.</p>
<p>So, my current plan would reduce the program from 1.5 years and 9 classes to 1 year and 7 classes (6 CS and 1 graduate basket weaving). However, it would be great news if there is some university-wide rule that says you can do up to half while still an undergraduate.</p>
<p>I know some programs have absolutely stupid rules, though. I believe it is the MBA program which says regardless of how fast you finish the requirements and graduate, you owe 2 years worth of tuition.</p>
<p>As a side note: Do you know how (undergrad and graduate) GPA is affected by counting courses taken as an undergrad toward a grad program? I have A’s in half of my upper level cs courses and B’s in the other half. Which ones should I choose to carry over?</p>
