The Bachelor of Science with a major in computer science requires a minimum of 120 s.h., including at least 63 s.h. of work for the major. The BS program is more rigorous than the BA and is designed to provide in-depth training for students who would like to acquire strength in math and science in order to enhance their skills and job prospects. It also is appropriate for those who plan to pursue graduate work in computer science, although it is not required for graduate study at most universities. BS students complete all requirements for the BA major in computer science. They also complete an additional mathematics course, a course on computation theory, an additional computer science elective, two technical electives, and the natural science requirement.
