- Location(s): Main Campus Close Student Success Advisor(s) Sample Degree Plan Program Learning Outcomes CIP Code: 11.0701 Program Information All courses must be passed with a C- (1.7) or better to be counted in the major. All prerequisite courses must be passed with a C- (1.7) or better. Credits older than 10 years must be approved by the CSCY Department Chair before being allowed to count towards the degree due to the rapid change in the industry. Computer Science majors must take the approved comprehensive national examination in computer science during their senior year, passing with a score in at least the 25th percentile. This test is generally taken during CS 4800 - Computer Science Capstone Project . Computer Science is recommended for students who seek careers in computer science or who wish to pursue graduation education. All Computer Science majors can also earn the Cybersecurity (Minor) and/or Information Technology (Minor) . Please see their respective catalog entries for more details. Students who complete the first two years of requirements for Computer Science have also completed the requirements for the Software Development (AAS) . Please see that program’s catalog entry for more details. If a student does not possess Computer Application skills, the following course is suggested but does not pertain to the degree: CSCY 1000 - Introduction to Computer Applications and the Internet . Students must take Science coursework that develops and applies the scientific method in a non-computing area. This requirement is fulfilled by completing the Life Sciences and Physical Sciences General Education (GE) coursework. This program requires the completion of several math courses. Students who are not prepared for these math courses may need additional math credits/preparation, which may affect time to graduation. Please consult your Student Success Advisor for more information.
