Computer Science, BA


Click here for Objectives   

This program offers a sound foundation in computing, while allowing greater flexibility in determining an area of application of the acquired computing skills. It is an excellent preparation for students interested in professional careers involving computer applications in less technical areas such as business or education. As a BACS student, you have the option of combining your undergraduate education in computing with another disciplinary area, effectively customizing your degree as “CS + X”. Examples include Computer Science + Theater, Computer Science + Communications, Computer Science + Physics.

Requirements


The Bachelor of Arts degree with a major in Computer Science requires students to complete a minimum of 180 quarter credits with both a cumulative grade point average and a major/department grade point average of 2.00 or better.

Notes:


  1. Independent study and internship courses (CPSC 3960, 4950, 4960, 4990) cannot be used to satisfy computer science electives.
  2. Students who minor or double major in math may take MATH 3000  in lieu of CPSC 2600 .

III. Other Major Department Requirements


45 credits including:

NOTE:


The Area of Application must consist of 30 credits that are not already required for this degree. Students who select minors that overlap with BA requirements (such as math or data science) will need to take additional courses, that are approved by the department, to get to 30 credits.
