This sample curriculum leads to a
Bachelor of Science degree in Computer Science.
It meets the BS degree requirements in effect for students admitted to the
Department of Computer Science during the
2011-2012 academic year.
This sample curriculum is for students who
do not start out as computer science majors.
It shows how such students can still finish in a total of four years as long
as they become computer science majors after their first year in the college.
The specific curriculum below fits open option students.
Similar curricula work for students who choose to be under
the open-option designation during their first year
as well as students who declare a major other than
computer science in their first year.
