 Use Grad MAPs to plan your degree
Admission Requirements into the Bachelor Program
- Complete an AAS degree in Computer Science or equivalent.
- Formally declare and be accepted to baccalaureate status through the Department of Computer Science. Specific requirements and details may be obtained from a department advisor.
General Education
Refer to Degree Requirements . The MATH 1040 , or MATH 1210 , or MATH 3410 course required for the Computer Science AAS degree, which is a pre-requisite to the BS major, also satisfies the WSU core general education Quantitative Literacy requirement. Computer Science majors must complete COMM 2110 as part of the Humanities general education requirement. It is recommended that Computer Science majors take CS 1010 for one of the CA general education requirements.
