Computer Science Major Requirements

Our Computer Science major is dynamic—that is, we constantly update the major to reflect the latest developments in the field.

Fifteen (15) specific Computer Science courses and eight (8) specific Mathematics courses (including 3 credits as GER*) must be taken.
