Bachelor of Science in Computer Science
The major in Computer Science is designed for students interested in pursuing advanced studies in computer science and professional careers in the theoretical and technical side of computer-oriented information technology.
Requirements for a Major in Computer Science
At least 44 semester hours of computer science course work with a grade of C or better.
Admission to the Program
Admission is through a formal declaration of major. A student is admitted to the upper division computer science major after successful completion of CS 230 and CS 231 and completion of the general education program.
