Computer science is an exciting and growing field with career opportunities ranging from running a small business to working in industry, government, or education.  The capstone experience prepares students for the job market by providing real-world work experience.

Prerequisites

The SOU computer system checks prerequisites when processing a student’s request to register.  Students must have a C- or better in all prerequisite courses.  In addition, students must have a B or better in CS 256  and CS 257 .

Accelerated Baccalaureate Degree Program

Computer science majors may participate in the Accelerated Baccalaureate Degree Program. For more information, see the Accelerated Baccalaureate Degree Program section.

Emerging Media & Digital Arts

Through the programs of Art, Communication, and Emerging Media & Digital Arts, SOU provides interdisciplinary instruction in visual narrative, design, and creation of visuals in a digital age. For information on Emerging Media & Digital Arts courses, see the EMDA courses in the Course Descriptions section of the catalog.

E-Commerce Certificate

Computer science majors interested in E-Commerce should consider adding the Certificate in Interactive Marketing and E-Commerce (CIMeC).  CS 256, 257 and 295 may be used to meet some of the E-Commerce certificate requirements.  See Certificate in Interactive Marketing and E-Commerce (CIMeC) .
