CS BS Information
GPA Requirements
- All classes counting toward the degree must be taken for a letter grade.
- Students must meet the minimum GPA requirement of 2.0 to graduate with any major or minor from the department.
- Major/Minor GPA will be calculated using the better of the grades when a student repeats a course.
Useful Information
- The CS BS cannot be combined with any other CS or AI major/minor.
- Students must successfully complete all prerequisite courses before enrolling in a course; this is a hard rule that cannot be bypassed. Course prerequisites are listed under the course information on Atlas.
- Students who require a permission code for a CS course should contact the CS Undergraduate Coordinator. Students who who require a permission code for a Math course should contact the Math Undergraduate Coordinator.
- Students may count more than one CS 485 topics course towards the elective requirements as long as the subjects differ.
- CS 323: Machine Learning Applications was developed solely for the AI Minor and cannot be used as an elective for the CS BS.
