Computer Science (BIS)

Computer Science (Minor or BIS Concentration)

Program Prerequisite: There are no special admission or application requirements for these programs, with the exception of a mandatory placement exam. If a student passes the placement test with a score of 73% or better, then the student may enter these programs beginning with the first course of CS 1400 . If the score of 73% is not achieved, then the student must take the CS 1030 - Foundations of Computer Science course as a prerequisite to begin course work for these programs. The student will have two attempts to achieve the 73% score. The last score received will be the score used to determine placement.
Grade Requirements: A grade of “C” or better must be earned in all required CS courses (a grade of “C-” is not acceptable). A grade of “C-” or better must be earned in all required support courses. In addition, an overall GPA of 2.70 or higher must be attained for all required courses.
Credit Hour Requirements: 24 hours for the Minor and BIS Concentration, and 22 hours for the Teaching Minor.
Program Code: 8023
CIPC: 110701

Students who select the Computer Science Teaching minor must satisfy the Teacher Education admission and licensure requirements (see Department of Teacher Education ) and have a teaching major.
