To fulfill major requirements, students must have at least a 2.00 grade point average for all computer science courses enrolled and all other courses enrolled satisfying major requirements.

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.

and six Purposeful Pathways activities:

Earn credit, as determined by the Chair, for six Purposeful Pathways activities, with two from each from the following categories:

Career Exploration
Professional Preparation
Networking & Employer Engagement

Participation in an Engaged Learning (Internship, Research) opportunity can be used to substitute for one of the required six events with prior approval from the Chair.

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.
