Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor
of Science
The computer science major
includes a required core curriculum as recommended by standard
professional societies providing a solid base of knowledge about
computer science. In addition, elective courses can be chosen
from a variety of possible topics providing flexibility in matching
an individual's interests. The major provides preparation for
graduate study or for career placement in computer science or
related fields.
Honors in computer science recognizes excellent overall scholarship and the successful completion of an honors-level capstone experience. Candidates need departmental approval based on computer science maturity, creativity, and the ability to do independent work in order to register for the honors course (312-49300). Final approval for honors is decided by department vote.

a computing minor and any of the requirements of a mathematics
major or minor.
An overall average of C (2.00)
is required in computer science/mathematics courses used to fulfill
the minimum course requirements for the minor. No more than one
passing grade below C- in computer science/mathematics courses
may be used.
This minor is designed for students majoring in disciplines in which information technology plays an integral role.

An overall average of C
(2.00) is required in computer science courses used to fulfill
the minimum course requirements for the minor. No more than one
passing grade below C- in computer science courses may be used.
Note: No course may be counted
more than once in satisfying the requirements for a major or minor.
A grade of C- or better is required for a course in computer science to fulfill a prerequisite for another computer science course.
