Admissions

     The first requirement for admission is an interest in computing. It is not necessary that students know anything about programming before taking the introductory programming course, CS 140 – Introduction to Computing I, but they should have some prior experience in using a computer, e.g., word processing, spreadsheets, and electronic mail. If students do not have this prior experience, it is recommended they take CMIS 108 – Computer Concepts and Applications, first.

In order to be admitted to the BS or BA program, students must satisfy the requirements for admission to a program in the School of Engineering:

1. Completion of all Academic Development courses required by the University.
2. Completion of any required courses to address high school deficiencies.
3. Completion of MATH 120 – College Algebra, (or high school equivalent) with a grade of C or better.
4. Cumulative grade average of at least 2.0 (on a 4.0 scale).

A student may be dropped from the program in any of the following circumstances:

1. He or she has a GPA of less than 2.0 in all computer science courses
2. He or she has a GPA of less than 2.0 in all mathematics courses
3. He or she has a cumulative GPA of less than 2.0
4. He or she fails to enroll in courses toward fulfillment of program requirements for three consecutive semesters
