Objectives
The Computer Science Program offers an academic major leading to the
Bachelor of Science degree, as well as an academic minor and a teaching
minor. The curriculum in computer science is designed to meet the needs
of students whose ultimate objective is to pursue a career in the field
or to go on to postgraduate study. The program also serves students who
wish to learn to use the computer as a tool.
Program Requirements
Students must maintain an overall 2.5 GPA in courses required for the
academic major, the academic minor, and the teaching minor. A 2.8 GPA
in CMPT 201, CMPT 202 and MATH 201 is a prerequisite for enrollment in
upper division courses. Computer Science major and minor requirements
must be satisfied with a grade of C- or better. A student enrolled in
a Computer Science course without the specified prerequisites may be withdrawn
from the course by the instructor.
For course prerequisites, please refer to the course description.
