Computer Science and Information Systems Major
Computer Science Option
Bachelor of Science
NSS BS 5306
- Minimum General Studies = 45
- + General Studies coursework required by major = 47
- English Language minimum = 9
- Humanities minimum = 9
- Mathematics, Statistics & Computer Science minimum = 8 (Maximum of 6 hours in
this section will count toward the 45 hours General Studies requirement.)
- MATH 103*, Plane Trigonometry - 3 hours
- MATH 115, Calculus I with Analytical Geometry -
5 hours
- *Students with sufficient preparation may enter the mathematics program at a higher
level, reducing total of General Studies hours to 45.
- Natural Sciences minimum = 7
- Social and Behavioral Sciences minimum = 9
- Personal Development minimum = 2
- BS Science-related course requirements = 0
- Major Option = 36
- Minor or 2nd Major, minimum = 24
- Minors are 24 hours, 18 must be unduplicated. Electing a second major may add as many as
18 required hours to the program. Should 6 hours of the minor also meet other
requirements, the unrestricted electives will be greater.
-
- Minimum total hours required coursework = 107
- Unrestricted electives in 125 hour program = 18
- Minimum total hours required for BS in Computer Science = 125
