Program Learning Outcomes
- Theory: Explain and analyze standard computer science algorithms and describe and analyze theoretical aspects of various programming languages
- Application: Apply problem-solving skills to implement medium and large scale programs in a variety of programming languages
- Systems: Describe the interactions between low-level hardware, operating systems, and applications
- Project: Demonstrate effective communication and organization as part of a team of software developers or researchers collaborating on a large computer program
Major Requirements (52 units)
20 units of lower division courses, 20 units of upper division courses, and 12 units of mathematics Students majoring in Computer Science must earn a grade of C or better in MATH 201, MATH 202, and all of the computer science courses fulfilling requirements for the major. A student can repeat no more than two Mathematics or Computer Science courses required in the major, and a course can be repeated only one time. A withdrawal counts as an attempt at a course without passing or earning a minimum grade required in the course.
Lower Division (20 units)
