The Bachelor of Science in Computer Science is a 120-credit hour program. Students must earn a C– or higher in all courses and maintain a cumulative grade point average of 2.0 or higher to graduate.
Transfer students should consult an academic advisor regarding potential course exceptions or substitutions. We encourage all students to meet with an academic advisor before registration each semester.
