  abstract =     "All Computer Science Departments that offer graduate
                 degrees share a common problem---many students, with
                 degrees in other disciplines, apply to pursue a
                 Master's degree in Computer Science, but have to make
                 up a large number of undergraduate deficiencies before
                 taking graduate classes. These students are typically
                 above traditional age, have jobs and families, and
                 cannot easily afford to make the time commitment that
                 is necessary to be able to complete the deficiencies
                 before taking the classes that become their graduate
                 program. The Computer Science Department at Montana
                 State University has a solution to this problem. We
                 have developed two accelerated introductory courses, CS
                 252 and 254, where enrollment is restricted to students
                 who already have degrees in other disciplines. These
                 classes, which have two lectures and six hours of
                 laboratory work each week, replace 26 semester credits
                 of regular coursework, and let potential graduate
                 students remove their required undergraduate
                 deficiencies about a year faster than would otherwise
                 be possible.",
