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

Optional Cybersecurity Concentration

A minimum of 14 credits distributed as follows:

CS 111 Introduction to Cybersecurity
CS 211 Computer and Network Security
CS 293 Networks and Web Development

One course chosen from the following:

IA 330 Global Security
PSY 425 Human-Computer Interaction

The concentration in cybersecurity may be pursued only by those with a declared computer science major, computer science and math major, or computer science minor.

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