The number of Computer Science credit hours required by the major varies depending upon the option or emphasis chosen. 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. Complete each of the following courses (or their equivalent) with an average grade of 2.7 ("B-") or higher: CS SI 1410, CS SI2650, CS SI2420 and ENGL ENIOIO. 3. 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 pages 38-43 for either Bachelor of Science or Bachelor of Arts requirements. If a Computer Science major does not have the prerequisite skills at entrance, TBETE1700 is recommended to fill a portion of the WSU Computer Literacy core general education requirement The MATH QL1080 or 1210 course required for the Computer Science major also satisfies the WSU core general education Quantitative Literacy requirement. Computer Science majors must complete COMM HU2110 as part of the Humanities general education requirement. It is recommended that Computer Science majors take PHYS PS/SI2010 for the Network Security and Administration Emphasis or PHYS PS/SI2210 for the Software Engineering Emphasis and Customized Option as part of the Physical Sciences general education requirement.
