The department offers a B.S. in Computer Science, supports the B.S. in Computer Engineering offered by the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department, and supports a program in Digital Art with the Visual Arts department.

The department also participates in offering three minors: a traditional Computer Science Minor , a Computational Methods Minor , and a Digital Media Minor  in collaboration with the Visual Arts department. The latter two are described in their own entries in this catalog.

Introductory Courses

Each CS major or minor program includes one course from the following list. Each course focuses on a distinct application area. The courses all cover the same basic computer science concepts and programming skills and only one may be counted toward a major or minor. These courses are open to non-majors and are prerequisite to certain intermediate courses that are also available to and suitable for non-majors. A grade of C- or better is required in order to take any course that requires an introductory course as prerequisite. Once one has passed an introductory course with a C- or better, no other introductory course may be taken for credit.
