It contains actual practical, applications oriented, and intellectual computing experience. It is designed to provide a sound fundamental understanding of digital/processor logic, of digital computer organization and the interaction between hardware, software and the interconnection of system components, of software engineering including understanding operating systems and other software systems design and implementation of the theory of computing, analysis of algorithms, simulation, compiler design, and knowledge-based systems. The Computer Science program is designed to provide fundamental training to prepare one for position in schools, commerce, industry, or government as scientific and systems programmers or as systems integrators, or for graduate study. The program also provides the computer expertise which is so vital for scientific computing and the study of phenomena in many sciences. The Computer Science curriculum has a required common core and then is divided into three elected options. Emphasis I is a liberal education approach requiring two minors, one in mathematics and one from any other academic area. Emphasis II is a science approach requiring engineering physics and more than a minor in mathematics. Emphasis III is a system integration and hardware approach emphasizing system networking, drivers and internals. Education The two-year Associate of Science/Arts degree in Computer Science prepares a student for entry into the computer work field and/or entry into the Computer Science bachelor program. The Bachelor of Science/Arts degree prepares a student to be a productive scientific programmer, systems programmer, systems analyst, systems integrator, or to continue to graduate school. Program: Computer Science Major-Bachelor Degree General Requirements: Specific course requirements of the college (see index). Bachelor degree General Education requirements (see index). Commun 102 (3) or 105 (3) is required for the Humanities area. Comsci 101 (4) is required for the Personal Development area. An overall GPA of at least 2.70 in Computer Science Courses. Grades of less than C in major and required support courses will not be accepted towards graduation. A minor may or may not be required depending on the choice of emphasis outlined below. 183 total hours are required, 60 of which must be upper division (courses numbered 300 or above).
