Computer Science

The flexibility of the program allows the student many choices upon graduation. Three major possibilities are: first, graduates will be qualified to pursue graduate work in computer science; second, all graduates will be qualified to work as operating system analysts or systems programmers; and finally, the student may study another discipline as a minor field to become an application programmer in that discipline.

In addition to completing all general University requirements, students wishing to receive the Bachelor of Science degree in Computer Science must complete the following:

  • CSIS 2610, 2617, 3701, and 3740.
  • CSCI 3710, 5806, 5814, 5870, and at least 2 s.h. of 4890.
