B.S. in Computer Science
College: College of Arts and Sciences
Program: Computer Science
See Also: Department of Computer Science
The B.S. degree program in computer science provides preparation in the fundamental principles and processes of computation and training in applying these principles in application areas in industry, science, government, and business. The student completes a basic group of required courses in the early stages and chooses courses from several concentrations in the later stages to provide for appropriate breadth and depth of knowledge in the discipline. In parallel, the student takes relevant courses in mathematics and physics that complement the study of computer science.
Suggested Schedule of Courses
This is a suggested 4-year schedule of courses based on degree requirements in the 2007-2008 Undergraduate Catalog.
This guide is not a substitute for academic advisement – contact your advisement office if you have any questions about scheduling or about your degree requirements. Also see the Undergraduate Catalog for a complete list of requirements and electives to choose from.
Students may choose to attend a summer term to reduce their course load during fall or spring semesters but still stay on track to graduate in four years.
