The major in Computer Science offers preparation for computing careers in business, government, education, and industry as well as for graduate school.
Accelerated Bachelors/Masters (ABM) Program
High achieving students majoring in Computer Science who intend to pursue a master’s degree in Computer Science may apply to participate in the Accelerated Bachelors/Masters (ABM) pathway. The pathway allows undergraduate students an opportunity to complete select requirements for both the bachelor’s and master’s degrees simultaneously. Upon successful completion of the ABM pathway, students must submit an application (including application fee) to the graduate program. Additional application requirements will be waived, and the student will be admitted to the program automatically. For more information about the ABM pathway, see the Graduate Catalog.

Degree Requirements
| True Blue Core (TBC) | 41 hours | | Major Requirements | 44 hours | | Computer Science Core | (26 hours) | | Business Applications Concentration | (18 hours) | | Supporting Courses | 35 hours* | | Mathematics Minor (if taken) | (18 hours) | | Electives | 2-5 hours | | TOTAL | 120 hours | *This program requires courses that can also fulfill requirements of the True Blue Core curriculum. If program requirements are also used to fulfill True Blue Core requirements, the number of elective hours will increase. True Blue Core (41 hours)
True Blue Core (TBC) requirements (shown in curricular listings below) include courses in the Foundational Skills areas of Written Communication (WC), Information Literacy (Info Lit), Non-Written Communication (NWC), and Quantitative Literacy (Quant Lit). Knowledge Domains include Human Society and Social Relationships (HSSR), Scientific Literacy (Sci Lit), Creativity and Cultural Expression (CCE), and History and Civic Learning (HCL), which include Discovery and Explorations categories. Students must choose at least one course from each Discovery category. The following courses required by the major meet True Blue Core requirements: Major Requirements (44 hours)
Computer Science Core (26 hours)
Business Applications Concentration (18 hours)
Supporting Courses (35 hours)
NOTE: Math courses may count in Mathematics Minor if chosen. Notes:
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 and MATH 1910 and COMM 2200 must be completed with a grade of C (2.00) or higher. CSCI 1150 is considered a service course and does not count toward a major or minor. Curriculum: Business Applications Concentration (Mathematics Minor)
