Information Technology, B.S.

A major must include:

• CSC-105 Intro to Computer Science
• CSC-121 Intro to Computer Programming
• CSC-122 Data Structures and Algorithms
• CSC-475 Seminar in Computer Science or
• CSC-502 Research
• at least two more CSC courses numbered 200 or greater with at least one of the courses numbered 300 or greater, and
• at least three other courses numbered 200 or greater in a cognate discipline with at least one course numbered 300 or greater.

a calculus course:

which fulfills the Mathematical and Formal Reasoning (MR) general education requirement for Bachelor of Science (B.S.) degree candidates.

• MTH-120 Introduction to Statistics  and MTH-145 Calculus for Management, Life and Social Sciences  or
• MTH-150 Analytic Geometry and Calculus I

and, at least two more science courses appropriate for a major in the respective discipline:

which fulfills the Empirical Studies of the Natural World (NW) general education requirement for Bachelor of Science (B.S.) degree candidates.

• BIO-111 Foundations of Biology
• CHM-110 Foundations of Chemistry
• CHM-115 Kinetics, Thermodynamics and the Environment
• CHM-120 Organic Chemistry
• EES-112 Environmental Science
• EES-113 Natural Hazards and Natural Disasters
• EES-115 Earth Systems
• PHY-111 General Physics I
• PHY-112 General Physics II
• PSY-320 Introduction to Biopsychology
• PSY-328 Sensation and Perception
• SUS-120 Principles of Sustainability Science

Further considerations

The cognate discipline includes courses leading to an award of a major in another field of study, where those courses have a clear IT component or applicability.  The capstone (CSC-475  or CSC-502 ) will serve to integrate the experiences. Specific cognate courses comprising a consistent theme for the IT major will be identified when the student declares their intent to pursue a major. The cognate discipline may not be Computer Science.
