Information Science Major
The degree requirements for an Information Science major include 15 courses in computing, 2 courses in science, 3 courses in mathematics, and 1 course in either science or mathematics. The science and mathematics requirements for an Information Science major are more specific than those defined in the Enchiridion. In addition, an Information Science major must fulfill the remaining core requirements of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences.
The sample program shows how an IS major could fulfill all of the degree requirements in a typical four year period.
