Advisement

It is strongly suggested that Computer Science students see an advisor on a regular basis. Call the department secretary at 801-626-7929 for an appointment with the advisor.  (Also refer to the Department Advisor Referral List.)

Admission Requirements into the Bachelor Program

1. Complete an AAS degree in Computer Science or equivalent.
2. 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 and General Education Requirements . If a Computer Science major does not have the prerequisite skills at entrance, NTM 1700  is recommended to fill a portion of the WSU Computer Literacy core general education requirement. 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.
