B.S. Degree
Bachelor of Science in Computer Science
Computer Science 1410, 2315, 3312, 3316, 3317, 3352, 3451; Math 1404, 1411, 3321; 9 credits of math or computer science, 6 of which must be at the advanced level (3000 or above); Physics 2311 and 2111, 3363; Philosophy 4339 or ANSC 3312. The student must also complete a computer science practicum (an internship, large programming project, or research project). The course sequence is such that computer science majors should plan to go to Rome in the Spring of their sophomore year.
Twelve additional advanced hours in computer science are required including Theory of Computation (MCS 3311) and Research
in Computer Science (MCS 4V43), up to six hours.
Comprehensive Examination
Student must pass written and oral exams taken in the senior year over the topics in the required major courses.
