MATHEMATICS AND COMPUTER SCIENCE

---

This major is sponsored jointly by the Departments of Mathematics and Computer Science. Also see Computer Science (page 146.), Mathematics (see page 171), and Statistics and Computer Science (page 186). The Mathematics and Computer Science major is designed to prepare students for professional or graduate work.

MAJOR IN SCIENCES AND LETTERS CURRICULUM

Degree title: Bachelor of Science in Liberal Arts and Sciences

Minimum required major and supporting course work normally equates to 59-61 hours.

General education: The LAS General Education requirements (see page 130) are set up so that students automatically complete the Campus General Education requirements. The exceptions to this are the Campus Composition II and the Western Cultures requirements which must also be completed.

Minimum hours required for graduation: 120 hours

Departmental distinction: To graduate with distinction requires a specified minimum grade-point average in all Computer Science and Mathematics courses listed below. A GPA of 3.25 is required for Distinction, 3.5 for High Distinction, and 3.75 for Highest Distinction. In addition, students must complete at least three semester hours of additional Computer Science or Mathematics courses selected from the following: C S 196, 290, 292, 293, 296, 299; any C S course numbered 311 or higher; Math 296, 312, 314, 317, 318, 323, 332, 348, 382, 384.
