60 College of Applied Science & Technology Advisement It is strongly suggested that Computer Science students see an advisor on a regular basis. Call the department secretary at 801-626-7929 for an appointment with the advisor. Admission Requirements into the Bachelor Program 1. Complete an AAS degree in Computer Science or equivalent. 2. Formally declare and be accepted to baccalaureate status through the Department of Computer Science. Specific requirements and details may be obtained from a department advisor. General Education Refer to Degree and General Education Requirements. If a Computer Science major does not have the prerequisite skills at entrance, NTM 1700 is recommended to fill a portion of the WSU Computer Literacy core general education requirement. The MATH 1040, or MATH 1210, or MATH 3410 course required for the Computer Science AAS degree, which is a pre-requisite to the BS major, also satisfies the WSU core general education Quantitative Literacy requirement. Computer Science majors must complete COMM 2110 as part of the Humanities general education requirement. It is recommended that Computer Science majors take CS 1010 for one of the CA general education requirements. Students who pass the Computer Science Advanced Placement A exam with a score of 3 receive 8 hours of credit and specific credit for CS 1022 (4). Students who pass the Computer Science Advanced Placement A exam with a score of 4 or 5 receive 8 hours of credit and specific credit for CS 1400 (4) (If they already have the CS 1400 (4) course they may receive CS 1023(4)). Students who pass the Computer Science Advanced Placement A/B exam with a score of 3 receive 8 hours of credit and specific credit for CS 1400 (4) (If they already have the CS 1400 (4) course they may receive CS 1023(4)). Students who pass the Computer Science Advanced Placement A/B exam with a score of 4 or 5 receive 8 hours of credit and specific credit for CS 1400 (4) and CS 1023 (4) (If they already have the CS 1400 (4) course they may receive CS 1023 (4) and CS 1022(4)) ■ Major Course Requirements for BS To be taken in addition to the requirements for the AAS degree in Computer Science.
