Computer Science Major
The degree requirements for a Computer Science major include 15 courses in computing, 2 courses in science, 3 courses in mathematics, and 2 more courses in either science or mathematics. The science and mathematics requirements for a CS major are more specific than those defined in the Enchiridion. In addition, a Computer Science major must fulfill the remaining core requirements of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences.
The sample program shows how a CS major could fulfill all of the degree requirements in a typical four year period.
The following CSC courses are required for a Computer Science major through the class of 2012. Starting with the class of 2015 CSC4480 Principles of Database Systems will be required in place of CSC3990 Computing Research Topics.
