Program Learning Outcomes
“Expected student learning outcomes specify the knowledge, skills, values, and attitudes students are expected to attain in courses or in a program.” Page 69. Resource Manual for the Principles of Accreditation: Foundations for Quality Enhancement, Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges (SACSCOC), 2018.
- A student meeting the requirements for a degree in computer science will critically analyze, apply concepts and select appropriate tools and techniques in solving computing problems.
- A student meeting the requirements for a degree in computer science will develop (i.e. plan, implement and deploy) an Internet-based multi-tier application with multiple databases.
- A student meeting the requirements for a degree in computer science will demonstrate his interest and expertise in one field of computing application (e.g. games, simulation, medical, movies, etc…)
- A student meeting the requirements for a degree in computer science will demonstrate a sound understanding of the basic theories of computer science, with an ability to exercise critical judgment across a range of issues.
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) Requirements - 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 and Science requirements are fulfilled through other courses in this major. Only 37 of the 43 credit hours of Faith, Roots, and Reason (General Education) will still be required for the completion of this program.
Computer Science, B.S. Program - 64 Credit Hours
Computer Science Core Courses - 42 Credit Hours
(not all courses are offered each semester)
Computer Science Senior Course - 4 Credit Hours
Computer Science Electives (3000 or 4000 level) - 6 Credit Hours
Please select two (2) of the following upper-level Computer Science courses:
Mathematics Courses - 7 Credit Hours
School of Liberal Arts and Sciences Additional Natural Science Requirements - 5 Credit Hours
Students in the School of Liberal 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 - 19 Credit Hours
This program must include a minor or an additional major.
