Computer Science Major

The Computer Science Major

This option complements our existing Mathematics and CSMT (Computer Science and Mathematics) majors. While many students are well served by the existing CS/Math hybrid major, we recognize that some students will prefer a more traditional CS major with more CS classes and fewer math classes.

Major Requirements for the Computer Science Major:

• CS 171: Computer Science I
• CS 172: Computer Science II
• CS 230: Computational Mathematics
  Or   Math 132: Calculus II
• CS 277: Computer Architecture and Assembly Languages
  Or   CS 293: Networks and Web Development
• CS 383: Algorithm Design and Analysis
• CS 488: Software Development 
• MATH 255: Statistical Concepts and Methods

And 4 other computer science classes (16 credits total) numbered 200 or above. Currently, these courses are:

• CS 211: Computer and Network Security
• CS 367: Computer Graphics
• CS 369: Artificial Intelligence
• CS 373: Programming Language Structures
• CS 465: Theory of Computation
• CS 467: Advanced Computer Graphics
• CS 495: Topics in Computer Science

See the College Catalog for a description of the courses and our other two majors.
