Computer Science B.S. Comp.Sc.

Computer Science and Engineering Administration
College of Science and Engineering
  • Program Type: Baccalaureate
  • Requirements for this program are current for Fall 2018
  • Required credits to graduate with this degree: 120
  • Required credits within the major: 77 to 78
  • Degree: Bachelor of Science in Computer Science
Computer science is concerned with the study of hardware, software, and theoretical aspects of high-speed computing devices and with the application of these devices to scientific, technological, and business problems. A bachelor's degree gives students a basic understanding of computer science. After completing a required set of fundamental courses, students arrange their subsequent work around one of several upper division tracks within either computer science or an interdisciplinary area involving computer applications. The degree prepares students for graduate work or for various industrial, governmental, and business positions involving the use of computers.
Program Delivery
This program is available:
  • via classroom (the majority of instruction is face-to-face)
Admission Requirements
Students must complete 5 courses before admission to the program.

Custom Track
In rare instances, students may create their own track. Such tracks must be discussed with a CSci advisor. Custom tracks must be highly coherent, sufficiently advanced, in accordance with a computer science degree, and aligned with the student's goals. Students can choose their courses from the pre-approved track electives list. A custom track must still contain 23 credits minimum including an upper division math oriented requirement.
