请注意,这些课程提供了研究生阶段学习计算机科学的最低资格。
*注释: bare minimum qualifications指最低要求的资格。*
**Completing them does not guarantee admission to the program; as noted above, those who do not meet the preferred qualifications are evaluated on a case-by-case basis.**
完成这些课程并不保证进入该项目;如上所述,那些不符合首选资格的人将根据具体情况进行评估。
**Regardless of which path you choose to improve the preparation for your application, the OMSCS Admissions Committee expects you to have completed the preparation by the time that your application is submitted.**
无论您选择哪种途径来改善申请准备,OMSCS招生委员会希望您在提交申请时已经完成准备。
**The OMSCS Admissions Committee stresses that completion of these 3 courses by themselves is RARELY sufficient enough preparation to qualify an applicant for admission—particularly for applicants with only a Bachelor's degree or those who have NO STEM degree at any level.**
OMSCS招生委员会强调,仅完成这三门课程很少足以为申请人提供足够的入学资格——特别是对只有学士学位或任何层次没有STEM学位的申请人来说。
*注释: STEM指科学、技术、工程和数学。*
**I.e., completion of these 3 courses is RARELY considered a substitute for taking academic CS courses for credit as outlined in the next paragraph.**
即,仅完成这三门课程很少被视为可以替代下文所述的学分计算机科学课程。
*注释: substitute for指替代。*
**The Committee's opinion of other MOOC courses offered by other sources (e.g., Coursera) and bootcamps is the same—only rarely sufficient.**
委员会对其他来源(例如Coursera)提供的MOOC课程和训练营的看法相同——很少足够。
**Note: "academic credit" means that you can provide an academic institution's official transcript that shows enrollment in a course that COULD COUNT toward a degree, its completion, and a reported grade.**
注意:“学分”意味着您可以提供学术机构的正式成绩单,显示注册了一门可以计入学位的课程、完成情况及所获成绩。
*注释: transcript指成绩单;reported grade指记录的成绩。*
**AND, work experience almost NEVER convinces the Committee of the applicant's academic capability and preparation.**
而且,工作经验几乎从未能让委员会相信申请人的学术能力和准备。
**The best way to strengthen your application is to refer to Computer Science Curricula 2013, a set of curriculum guidelines assembled by a joint task force of the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) and IEEE Computer Society in 2013.**
加强申请的最佳方式是参考2013年的计算机科学课程大纲,这是一套由计算机协会(ACM)和IEEE计算机学会联合工作组在2013年编制的课程指南。

**Use these pages to guide your pre-application preparation.**
利用这些页面指导您的申请前准备。
**Find 2-4 upper-level (i.e., junior, senior, or graduate level) courses of interest that cover some of these areas and demonstrate the ability to earn a B or better in those courses.**
找出2-4门高级课程(即大三、大四或研究生水平)涵盖这些领域,并展示在这些课程中获得B或更高成绩的能力。
**These may be for-academic-credit classes at community colleges, other universities, or courses delivered via university-affiliated extension schools; whether such courses are taken in-person or online is irrelevant.**
这些可以是社区学院、其他大学的学分课程,或通过大学附属扩展学校提供的课程;无论这些课程是亲自上课还是在线上课,都是无关紧要的。
**The Admissions Committee is not interested in the specific courses that you choose - it is interested in your demonstrating the ability to perform upper level computer science academic coursework.**
招生委员会对您选择的具体课程不感兴趣——它感兴趣的是您展示进行高级计算机科学学术课程工作的能力。
**Other objectively-documented credentials may be considered - such as MOOCs with verified certificates and bootcamps - but it is very rare that such instructional settings are as rigorous and well-documented as for-credit classes at recognized academic institutions.**
其他有客观记录的凭证可能会被考虑——例如带有认证证书的MOOCs和训练营——但这样的教学环境很少像认可的学术机构的学分课程那样严格和有记录。
**The Admissions Committee is not looking for knowledge in a specific CS area; instead, it is looking for evidence that the applicant can succeed at upper level academic CS work.**
招生委员会并不是在寻找某一特定计算机科学领域的知识;而是在寻找申请人能够在高级学术计算机科学工作中成功的证据。
**Transfer credit (up to six credit hours) may be available for those that, prior to matriculating, complete graduate-level for-credit classes at regionally-accredited institutions that are not otherwise counting toward an awarded degree.**
对于那些在入学前完成区域认可机构的研究生学分课程且不计入已授予学位的情况,可能可以获得转学分(最多六个学分)。
*注释: matriculating指正式入学。*
**In addition to CS knowledge, some classes in the OMSCS program—especially in the artificial intelligence and machine learning areas—require a solid background in advanced mathematics, especially linear algebra, probability, and statistics.**
除了计算机科学知识,OMSCS项目中的一些课程——特别是人工智能和机器学习领域——需要扎实的高等数学背景,特别是线性代数、概率和统计。
**If you have not previously completed courses in these areas, or if you need to brush up on the subject matter, Georgia Tech has additional publicly-available MOOC series that may help you prepare:**
如果您以前没有完成这些领域的课程,或需要复习这些主题,佐治亚理工学院还有其他公开的MOOC系列可能会帮助您准备:
**Introductory Linear Algebra**
线性代数入门
**Applications of Linear Algebra**
线性代数的应用
**Probability/Random Variables**
概率/随机变量
**Statistics, Confidence Intervals and Hypothesis Tests**
统计、置信区间和假设检验
**For all applicants, domestic and international, the following is required for admission:**
对于所有申请者,无论国内还是国际申请者,入学要求如下:
**Before you can matriculate at Georgia Tech, the Institute requires that you must have earned the appropriate academic credentials: "Evidence of award of a bachelor's degree, its equivalent, or higher degree (prior to matriculation) from a regionally accredited institution; demonstrated academic excellence; and evidence of experience in the selected field of graduate study." (Institute Catalog Reference)**
在您能在佐治亚理工学院注册入学之前,学院要求您必须获得适当的学术凭证:“获得学士学位、同等学位或更高学位(在注册前),来自区域认证机构;表现出色的学术成绩;以及在所选研究生学习领域的经验。”(学院目录参考)
**In no case can work experience substitute for having earned an academic degree.**
无论如何,工作经验不能替代获得学术学位。
**For international applicants, satisfactory scores on the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) or IELTS-Academic are required.**
对于国际申请者,必须提供令人满意的托福(TOEFL)或雅思学术类(IELTS-Academic)成绩。
