Computer Science Major - B.A.

The B.A. in Computer Science consists of a minimum of 48 credits: 24 credits in core Computer Science courses, 8 credits in Mathematics/Data Science courses, 12 Computer Science elective credits (including at least 4 credits at the 300-level), and a 4-credit capstone.

Major requirements

Twenty four credits in required core and intermediate courses:

Eight credits chosen from:

MATH 151 Introduction to Data Science
Four credits chosen from:
- MATH 101 Calculus I or MATH 104 Calculus II
- Any mathematics course at or above the 200 level (eg. MATH 202 Cryptography , MATH 251 Methods of Data Analysis , MATH 261 Modeling and Simulation in R )

Twelve additional credits chosen from:

At least four credits must be at the 300-level. Normally, at most, one Mathematics course may be substituted with permission.

Four credit Capstone

COMP 401 - Senior Seminar

Notes:

To declare a major in Computer Science, a student needs at least a C+ average grade between COMP 115 and COMP 118. The Grade/Pass/Fail option can be used to apply a “P” grade for one 100-level course under the major requirements. If a “P” grade has been applied in COMP 115 or COMP 118 prior to declaring the major, the department may look back at the original grade to ensure that the required average grade threshold has been satisfied.
