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 2023
  • Required credits to graduate with this degree: 120
  • Required credits within the major: 78 to 80
  • 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. The B.S. more upper division credits in computer science and related areas allowing the student to pursue more deeply a particular area of computer science and tailor the degree to a specific area of interest. For students who are more likely to practice in an area that is highly specialized or technical, the B.S. may provide a better background than our B.A. in Computer Science.

Applicants must meet a Technical GPA minimum of 3.5 (as defined by the College of Science & Engineering) or they must have a strong recommendation from a Computer Science and Engineering faculty member or instructor (not an ECE Faculty member). Applicants must have at least 75 credits completed at the time of their application. Applicants must have passed with a C- or better all of the following courses: CSCI 1933 or 1913, CSCI 2011, CSCI 2021 (CSCI students) or EE 2361 (CompE students) CSCI 2033 or a math course containing linear algebra content CSCI 2041 (CSCI students only) CSCI 3081W (CSCI students only), CSCI 4041, and CSCI 4061 (applicants can have one of these courses in progress at the time of application) Full application instructions can be found at cse.umn.edu/cs/integrated
Students can transfer a maximum of 16 credits to the graduate program taken during their integrated senior undergraduate year. Students must spend a minimum of two semesters as a graduate student after the completion of their undergraduate degree. Coursework applied to the graduate degree must be taken at the graduate level (i.e., 5xxx or above). Credits being applied to the Computer Science Master’s taken while the student is an undergraduate for use in the integrated program can also be applied later to a Computer Science Ph.D. within our department if a student applies and is admitted. Credits cannot also be applied to the undergraduate degree (i.e., no “double dipping”). Students should consider taking the following courses/requirements to apply toward their graduate degree as an undergraduate integrated program student (16 credits max): CSCI 8970 - Computer Science Colloquium (1 credit) Course to meet the Theory and Algorithms Breadth requirement (3 credits)* Course to meet the Architecture, Systems, & Software Breadth requirement (3 credits)* Course to meet the Applications Breadth requirement (3 credits)* CSCI 5XXX level course that fits your interests and background (3 credits) or an approved graduate level elective or graduate minor course. We recommend waiting to take CSCI 8XXX level courses for your graduate year, but this level of coursework is still available to you if you have the appropriate prerequisites. CSCI 5XXX level course that fits your interests and background (3 credits) or an approved graduate level elective or graduate minor course. We recommend waiting to take CSCI 8XXX level courses for your graduate year, but this level of coursework is still available to you if you have the appropriate prerequisites. Courses that will be used to fulfill Master's degree requirements must appear in this sub-plan by the tenth day of the semester in which the student is enrolled in the courses. Any final edits or updates to this sub-plan must be reflected on the APAS no later than the last day of instruction in the semester in which the undergraduate degree will be awarded. Courses not in this sub-plan by that time cannot be updated at a later time; and, therefore will not be eligible for use towards the Master's degree. *Please refer to the Department of Computer Science & Engineering webpage for more details on which courses count for specific breadth requirements.
