Computer Science, B.A.

The B.A. in Computer Science allows students room to pursue a second major combined with computer science. This encourages inter- and multi-disciplinary study, developing well-rounded students ready to contribute to an increasingly interdisciplinary world that utilizes computation.

The B.A. in Computer Science consists of 27 hours of computer science courses, MATH 225 and either a second major or a minor that is significantly distinct from the computer science degree.

Required CSCI Courses

27 credit hours

CSCI 170 - Computer Science I
CSCI 180 - Computer Science II
CSCI 220 - Data Structures & Algorithms
CSCI 250 - Languages & Automata
CSCI 260 - Software Engineering
Three additional CSCI courses numbered 200 or above
CSCI 390 - Senior Seminar & Project BA students are strongly encouraged to create a project that integrates computer science with their second major or minor.

Required MATH courses

3 credit hours

MATH 225 - Foundations Of Higher Math

Note:

The Mathematics Perspectives Core requirement is fulfilled by

CSCI 170

. We also recommend

MATH 156 General Statistics

MATH 280 Combinatorics

if the student’s schedule permits.

Required second area of concentration

Students must complete a second major or minor, of which at least 15 hours must be distinct from the required courses in Computer Science.

Note(s):

A 2.000 cumulative average must be attained in the computer science courses.
Students are required to fulfill the current senior comprehensive requirements.
