BA/BS in Computer Science
The following are the requirements of a BA/BS in Computer Science. It does not represent a contract and may have errors. Please consult the current catalog and your advisor for more information.
The degree in computer science provides students with a well-defined program of study in the areas of program definition, systems analysis, mini/micro operation. This degree leads to careers in business, industry, government, and teaching of computer science at the high school level.
To enter the computer science program, students should have a minimum of MTH 111 equivalency. To enter the junior level (300) courses, students must have completed CS 160, CS 161, CS 162, and CS 260.
