Undergraduate Degree Program 2012-2014
Objectives
Computer Science Courses 1470 Computer Science I with Lab* 1480 Computer Science II with Lab*
The Bachelor of Science in Computer Science degree program is accredited by the ABET, and has a twofold purpose: (1) to prepare the student for a position involving the design, implementation, and applications of computer software and systems, and (2) to prepare the student for entry into a program of graduate study in computer science, computer engineering, and related fields. Our graduates should meet the following educational objectives: Obj-1. Grow as well educated professionals with integrated high-level understanding of computing systems, processes, and the main body of knowledge of computer science as a whole; Obj-2. Be able to creatively apply essential concepts, principles, and practices to appropriately construct solutions and analyze the processes for applications with professional judgments in the selection and application of theory, tools and techniques; Obj-3. Work productively, as an individual and as a team member, to produce work involving problem identification, analysis, design, and development of a software system within a professional, legal, and ethical framework; and Obj-4. Maintain their skills as the field evolve and appreciate the needs for continuing professional growth and development to keep current in the profession.

Electives (5 hours): If you choose MATH Option 2, you must take at least four upper level hours to meet the 40 minimum. Computer Science Minor (20 hours) CSCI 1470, 1480, 2320, 2440 and a minimum of 5 hours chosen from upper-division computer science courses. Honors program: Junior and senior students with a GPA of 3.0 or above may participate in the department honors program. It requires successful completion of a research project directed by a faculty member of this department. B.S./M.S. Combined Option: The department offers an accelerated option for students to complete both the B.S. in Computer Science and the M.S. in Applied Computing degrees. Students interested in this five year B.S./M.S. combined option should talk with his/her academic advisor. A minimum GPA of 3.25 by Junior year is strongly recommended.
