Computer Science

May be elected as a departmental concentration program

Prerequisites to Concentration. Computer Science 100, 280, and 303; Mathematics 115, 116, and 215, and two courses in natural science (8 credits), designated (NS). The NS designated courses must be outside Computer Science (Division 353), Mathematics (Division 428), Statistics (Division 489), and University Courses (Division 495). To be considered for admission to the concentration, all pre-concentration courses must be completed with no grade below C (2.0), and in addition, the six listed computer science and mathematics courses must be completed with grades which average at least B- (2.7). Students not receiving these grades in any of these preconcentration courses are advised to repeat the course before continuing in that sequence. You are declared into the concentration by a Computer Science advisor ONLY, and only when all of these courses (or their equivalent) have been completed.

Concentration Program.

1. Computer Science 270, 370, 380, 476, and 482 or 483.
2. One of Math. 416, CS 477, or Math. 425.
3. In addition, each student must complete a minimum of four CS or CS-related courses chosen from a Department-approved list. The concentration total will be approximately 37 credits. Courses selected to meet a concentration in Computer Science are chosen in consultation with and must be approved by a concentration advisor. Grades of C or better must be achieved in courses taken to satisfy the concentration requirements.

Advising. The concentration program in Computer Science is structured in such a way that only those students with defined, mature academic interests in Computer Science should elect it. Appointments are scheduled at the Academic Advising Center, 1255 Angell Hall, or by calling 764-0332.
