Computer Science Major

All Computer Science majors must choose one of the two available concentrations. Below are the requirements for the Computer Science Concentration (CSCI). Also available is the Web Applications Engineer Concentration (CSWE).

Computer Science Concentration (CSCI)

The major in Computer Science prepares graduates to enter positions as software specialists in industry or commerce, or to enter graduate programs in computer science, operations research or computers in management.

Computer Science Component -- 33 semester hours of CSC courses which include:
Mathematics Component -- 18 semester hours which include:
- MTH 141* Calculus I
- MTH 142 Calculus II
- MTH 161 Discrete Mathematics I
- MTH 262 Discrete Mathematics II
- one MTH course numbered above 201
* MTH 141 is co-requisite to any 400-level CSC course for this concentration.
All majors are required to earn a passing score on an approved comprehensive examination. The two examinations approved for this purpose are
- the Major Field Achievement Test (Computer Science) published by the Educational Testing Service (ETS) and
- the Computer Science Subject Test of the Graduate Record Examination (GRE).
