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 .
On rare occasions, a student may have a reasonable substitution for the stated prerequisite that is not recognized by the computer system. In those situations, the student should see the Computer Science Chair for clearance before trying to register for the course.
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.
Mathematics-Computer Science Co-Major
The Mathematics-Computer Science co-major provides training in both math and computer science. For information about this degree, see Mathematics-Computer Science, BA or BS .
