CSC Concentration Field Requirements:
The following list provides a relatively complete guide to the academic requirements for a program of study in the Computer Science (CSC) concentration of the Computer and Information Science Department. Each student's specific program requires the approval of the department advisor.
- General Education Requirements. Students should see an advisor in the Business College Office (BU 219) before choosing electives to satisfy General Education Requirements in the following areas: Mathematics or Logic, Arts/Humanities, Nonwestern Culture and Civilization, Western Culture and Civilization, Social Science, Natural Science, Human Diversity and the African-American Experience, and Writing Across the Curriculum.
- Twenty-two semester hours of mathematics: MTH 181 - 182 (Analytical Geometry and Calculus); MTH 220 (Introduction to Discrete Mathematics); MTH 284 (Matrices for Engineers) or MTH 288 (Linear Algebra); MTH 311 (Numerical Analysis); and MTH 323 (Statistics with Probability).
- A 16-semester-hour science/quantitative sequence: PHY 243 and PHY 244, and the remainder in any science or quantitative courses at the 200 level or above.
- A 29-semester-hour computer science core sequence: CIS 260 (Introduction to Programming), CIS 265 (Data Structures and Algorithms), CIS 335 (Language Processors), CIS 340 (C/C++ For Systems Programming), CIS 345 (Operating System Principles), CIS 368 (Object Oriented Design and Programming), CIS 408 (Internet Programming ), CIS 490 (Foundations of Computing).
- A minimum of 16 semester hours of Computer and Information Science electives.
- Each student must select an area of specialization in any field related to Computer and Information Science. At least 16 semester hours must be in this area, with at least 9 semester hours at the 300 level or higher. The area of specialization must be carefully related to the student's program and approved by the student's advisor. Sample programs of study showing a concentration in the various areas of business, engineering, technology, science, or mathematics are available from the department. Other programs, including concentrations within the CIS Department, that are tailored to the individual student's needs must be individually approved.
- At least 46 semester hours must be earned in courses at the 300 level or above.
- A total of 128 semester hours.
- In order to declare CSC as the concentration, the student must have completed the first course in calculus (MTH 181) with a grade of C (2.00) or better, and CIS 260 (Introduction to Programming) with a grade of C+ (2.30) or better. The student must also have an overall Grade Point Average of 2.00 or better.
- All Computer and Information Science courses must be passed with a grade of "C" or better.
- Any Computer and Information Science course taken without prior satisfactory completion of all catalog prerequisite courses will not be counted toward fulfillment of graduation requirements.
