Concentrations

In addition to the core courses, students must complete the requirements of a concentration. Students may choose from pre-approved concentrations or seek department approval for a concentration of their own design. The decision to pursue a concentration is typically made during the sophomore year. Students desiring a broad background in computer science should select the Computer Science Application Concentration.
The pre-approved concentrations include:

• Artificial Intelligence, for the development of software for intelligent agents;
• Computer Graphics and Gaming, for the development of graphics-intensive software;
• Computer Science Applications, for a broad background in computer science. This represents a general computer science degree with no specific area of concentration.
• Computer Science with Secondary Field, for those students who would like to combine computer science with another discipline such as business, science, etc.

Semester I

• CSC 110 - Computer Science I Credits: 4  
• MAT 211 - Calculus I Credits: 4  *
• Two general education courses Credits: 6

Semester II

• CSC 111 - Computer Science II Credits: 4  
• MAT 225 - Discrete Mathematics Credits: 4  
• Two general education courses Credits: 6

Note:

*Students unable to begin with MAT 211 - Calculus I  may be required to take MAT 175 - Precalculus Credits: 3 .

Students who wish to design a personalized concentration may do so with the help of their advisor. The advisor will then submit the request to the department for approval. The student’s course of study must be approved by the department in writing.

The department maintains a suggested sequence for scheduling the courses required in the core and by the various pre-approved concentrations. To ensure graduating in four years, each student should take the courses in the semesters indicated on the departmental list. The list will be available to students during scheduling.
