MAJOR: COMPUTER SCIENCE, Liberal Arts
The
comprehensive major is intended for students who are interested in
studying the principles and practices of both computing and
closely-related disciplines. The comprehensive major is a blend of courses
from several departments that forms the basis for integrating and applying
the knowledge of those disciplines.
Computer
Science (Code
170-030)
This major
is recommended for students who desire a strong foundation in software
design and development, computer systems and networking, and
mathematics. The B.S. degree program in computer science is accredited
by the Computing Accreditation Commission of the Accreditation Board for
Engineering and Technology (ABET). Sixty-one semester credits,
including:
1. The
Computer Science core: CS 185, 245, 255, 265, 330, 352, 355, 362, 365,
462, and 495 (35 crs.)
2. Three
credits of electives chosen from Computer Science courses numbered 330
or above and not already included in the Computer Science core (three
crs.)
3. The
Mathematics core: Math 114, 215, 314, and either 245 or 345 (14-15 crs.)
4. Three
credits of electives chosen from the following list of Mathematics
courses: Math 216, 250, 311, 324, 351, 352, 354, 355 and 358 (three-four
crs.)
5. The
Capstone experience, selected from one of the following: (six crs.)
a. CS 485;
CS 490 or 498
b. CS 482
and CS 492
Notes: CJ
202 or Engl 305 must be used to satisfy the GE-IA requirement if a
student has not satisfied the requirement on entry to the University
(three credits).
