This page is for computer science and computer information systems majors. I will post notices on this page that are important to CS and CIS majors. The rest of the page lists some generally useful information and links that students are often looking for.
Computer Science
Sample CS Curriculum. This shows a typical four-year sequence of courses leading to a BS in computer science. (This links to the BCU computer science web site.) CS Flowchart (pdf). A flowchart showing the main sequence of courses and prerequisites leading to a CS degree. Graduation Checklist for CS. Fill out the checklist to see how close you are to graduation.

- Upsilon Pi Epsilon, the international honor society for computing and information disciplines.
- CS, CIS, and CpE majors, take the PACE survey. The PACE program is funded by the National Science Foundation. The goal of this online community is to bring students, faculty, and IT professionals together to increase recruitment, retention, and diversity in computing education and careers. Participate. It is worth the effort.
- Downloadable Forms and Documents
- The following page is a listing of links to downloadable university forms.
Graduating Seniors
You must join the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM). You can join online. The current price for student membership is $42 (this includes the Portal, which is a real bargain).
You need to fill out the Degree Application Form (pdf) and bring it to my office. I will get a copy of your transcript and fill out a graduation checklist (CS Graduation Checklist or CIS Graduation Checklist). When I am finished, you will take the signed application form to the Dean 's Office, room S100, for his signature. The Registrar gets the original, the Dean gets a copy, I get a copy and you get a copy. This form shows what courses are left for you to complete in order to graduate.
