Students pursuing the B.S. program in computer science must complete the requirements listed below.
1. General Curricular Requirements
All students must satisfy the general curricular requirements listed in
the Degree Requirements chapter of this catalog. Some of the general
curricular requirements are automatically satisfied by fulfilling the
natural science and mathematics requirements of the B.S. program. The
following guidelines should be used:
a. 6
credits of the B.S. natural science requirements may be used to satisfy
the general curricular requirement of 6 credits from the offerings of
the natural science disciplines.
b. 6
credits of the B.S. mathematics requirements may be used to satisfy the
general curricular requirement of 3 credits in mathematics and 3
credits in mathematics, computer science, or statistics.
c. At most, 6 additional credits of the B.S. natural science or
mathematics requirements, excluding the courses used to satisfy a and b
above, may be counted toward fulfillment of the general curricular
requirement of 9 credits in free electives outside the major
department. Students must take at least 3 more credits outside computer
science to satisfy the free electives general curricular requirement.
