Computer Science: Concentration in Mathematics, B.S.


120 Credit Hours

Graduation Requirements


Conferral of a Baccalaureate degree in this program of study is determined by successful completion of the Baccalaureate Graduation Requirements outlined here .

NOTE: Students must earn 42 upper level (3000-4000) credit hours in order to graduate. A total of at least 21 of these upper level credit hours must be completed in the selected major.

Visit this program’s information page  for additional program-specific requirements.

Faith, Roots, and Reason (General Education) - 43 Credit Hours


Computer Science majors must meet the Baccalaureate Degree Requirements as set out in the Faith, Roots, and Reason (General Education) Program. The Faith, Roots, and Reason (General Education) Mathematics requirement is fulfilled through other courses in this major. Only 40 of the 43 credit hours of General Education will still be required for the completion of this program.

Additional Social Science Option:


In addition to the courses listed in the Faith, Roots, and Reason (General Education) Social Science menu, students in this major may also elect to take:

Computer Science in Mathematics, B.S. Program - 71-72 Credit Hours


Computer Sciences Courses


Required Mathematics Courses - 17-18 Credit Hours


School of Arts and Sciences Additional Natural Science Requirements - 5 Credit Hours


Students in the School of Arts and Sciences must take five additional hours of natural science: PHY 2113  with PHY 2111  as the accompanying lab are required and fulfill the Faith, Roots, and Reason (General Education) Science requirement. Students must also complete one additional natural science course and accompanying lab. The second natural science course and accompanying lab must be in a different area (both cannot be in physical science). In sum, students are required to take a minimum of 8 hours of natural science courses: two natural science courses (in two different areas) along with the labs associated with each. 

Additional Required Credit Hours - 8-9 Credit Hours


These additional hours may be fulfilled by a minor, second major, general electives taken concurrently, previous coursework taken at PBA or through transfer credits.

It is recommended that these additional credits be taken from the Online Masters’ Degree program for Computer Science.
