Where to begin your computer science
course sequence depends on your math and programming background. For
those students with little or no programming experience we recommend starting with
CSC 112 Introduction to Computer Programming (an introduction to
programming in a high-level language for students who are not computer
science majors). Choose suggested plans
of study if you are the following:
Option 1: Systems | Option
2: Business
B.S.
COMPUTER SCIENCE
Option
1 - Systems
This option is designed for
students interested in applications of computer science to the mathematical
or physical sciences or in the study of computers as systems.
- To Declare PRE-CSC: Completion of 24 hours
- To Declare CSC: CSC 100, 121, 133, and 221 with a gpa of at least
2.5 on these three courses

| *Many students will
place into MAT 111 College Algebra. Others will place into MAT
112, 115, or 161. The required math sequence is MAT 111, 112 (115 is
equivalent to both 111 and 112), 161, and 162. The pre-requisite
for CSC 121 Introduction to Programming is MAT 111 which may also
be satisfied by placing into a higher math class. Take the highest
MAT course based on placement.
**Note that 3 science courses
are required for the Systems option - these courses may also be
used as Basic Studies. Students select one of the following sequences:
PHY 201-202, BIO 240-241, CHM 101-102. Students also select one
additional lab science course chosen from PHY 201 (if not selected
above), BIO 240 (if not selected above, CHM 101 (if not selected
above), CHM 211, GLY 101, GLY 120, PHY 211, BIO 110, BIO 205, or
BIO 206.
+Options:
- CSC 121 and 133 may be taken together
- CSC 242 and 332 should be taken together
+Musts:
- CSC 133 must precede CSC 242
- CSC 121 and 221 use the same textbook; students should take
CSC 221 as soon as possible after 121
