The Computer Science program comprises two options. The Computer Science Option includes the theoretical foundations of computer science and the study of algorithms, data structures, software engineering, computer architecture, and the concepts of programming languages.

The Computer Information Systems option provides the student with a firm foundation of basic course work complemented by comprehensive instruction in principles of computer languages, problem solving, database concepts, and software engineering applications.

PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS
In addition to general University requirements and General Studies requirements, students seeking the B.S. in Computer Science must meet the requirements listed below.

A minimum grade of "C-" is required for all courses in the major.

Students should consult with their academic advisor for courses which may satisfy both the General Studies requirements and common prerequisites.

Course descriptions are listed alphabetically by prefix at Course Listings/Descriptions.
