degree requirements. A grade of C- or better is required in all
courses required for the major. An overall average of C or better
is required in CSC 14, 15, 16, and 24 for continuation in the
major. In addition, a student may not take any of these four
courses more than twice. Computer Science Requirements - Total Semester Hours: 39
39 semester hours (27 semester hours in required courses and 12 semester hours in computer science electives). The required computer science courses include CSC 14, 15, 16, 17, 24, 110, 112, 120 or 161, 163, and SPCM 7. The 12 s.h. in computer science electives must be in courses numbered higher than 100. Freshmen are encouraged to take the first-year seminars, CSC 14F and 14S, when offered. Natural Science Requirements - Total Semester Hours: 12
One two-semester sequence of science with laboratories (PHYS 1A & 1B and PHYS 2A & 2B, or PHYS 11A & 11B and PHYS 12A & 12B, or CHEM 3A & 3B and 4A & 4B, or BIO 11 and 12), and at least one 3-semester-hour science course. |
