Bachelor of Science in Computer Science
| Note: The degree requirements shown below
are for the 2008–2009 academic year. To see degree requirements for
previous years, please visit the Georgia State
catalog archive. |
Program Academic Regulations
A minimum grade of C is required in all mathematics and
computer science courses and all 3000-level or above courses that are used
to fulfill the undergraduate programs of this department. (Note: A grade
of C– does not satisfy this requirement.)
As part of the core curriculum, students must receive
credit for the two calculus courses: Math 2211 and Math 2212. (When
counting the number of semester hours in Areas A, D, and F, only 3 of the
4 credit hours of each calculus course will be counted in Area A and/or D.
The fourth hour, or the “rollover hour,” will be counted in Area F.)
Prerequisites and co-requisites are strictly enforced in
all computer science courses.
Program Degree Requirements
In addition to the Program Degree Requirements, students
must fulfill the College of Arts and Sciences Degree Requirements (see
section 3030 of the
Undergraduate Catalog) and the University Degree Requirements (see section
1400).
