Students interested in majoring in computer science should take the following courses in the following sequence. Although variations of the core classes are possible, it is recommended that students take all the asterisked (*) courses (required for the major) as suggested below. Students should always check with the program director if they have questions about a proposed variation including taking any summer courses.

To fulfill the core requirements for a Computer Science degree, students must fulfill at least one each of the AR I, HS I, and LT I core requirements.

A grade of C or better is required in all asterisked (*) courses (required for the major). Students are responsible for checking prerequisites for any course.

Transfer courses at the 3000- or 4000-level are only accepted with prior advisor approval.

A minimum of 60 hours of service is required. The recommended minimum number of service hours for each year are: 10 hours during the freshman year, 15 hours during sophomore and junior years, and 20 hours during senior year.
