A major in Computer Science consists of 41 semester hours of General Education  requirements, 44 hours of computer science requirements, and 35 hours of supporting and elective courses. Specifically a major must have

1. a core of CSCI 1010 ,
   CSCI 1170
    , 
   CSCI 2170
    , 
   CSCI 3080
    , 
   CSCI 3110
    , 
   CSCI 3130
    ,
   CSCI 3240
    , and 
   CSCI 4700
    ;
2. a mathematics core of 
   MATH 1910
    , 
   MATH 1920
    , and 
   MATH 2050
    ;
3. additional math courses (3 hours) that can be counted toward a math major;
4. COMM 2200
    ;
5. PHIL 3170
    ;            
6. additional courses as described below.

A maximum of 3 hours in the major may come from CSCI 4280 , CSCI 4600 , and CSCI 4910 . Credit in secondary computer languages toward the major is limited to 3 hours. In order to take any computer science course having a prerequisite, the student must have earned a grade of C (2.00) or higher in the prerequisite. Each course counted toward the 44 credit hours of required Computer Science courses must be completed with a grade of C (2.00) or higher.

  is considered a service course and does not count toward a major or minor.

The Business Applications concentration with a minor in Mathematics requires the following in addition to the core requirements:

1. CSCI 4410
     and 
   CSCI 4560
    ;
2. 12 hours of computer science electives, at least 9 of which are upper division;
3. a minor in Mathematics which requires  ACTG 2110 , 
   ECON 2420
    ,
   FIN 3000
    ,
   MGMT 3610
    , and one of 
   ACTG 2120
    , 
   BLAW 3400
    ,
   MKT 3820
    , 
   ACSI 4230
    , or 
   MGMT 3620
    .
