Integrated Computer Science (BS)
|
|
 Return to: Degrees and Certificates Offered
Integrated Computer Science integrates computer science with domain knowledge in some external area of concentration. The degree combines a student-selected concentration from any field of study outside of computer science with computational courses focused on real-world programming skills, electives expanding those skills and providing additional cultural and ethical knowledge, and a capstone project applying those skills to the concentration area. Integrated Computer Science equips students to apply computational thinking and methods in a wide variety of possible careers and to become academic, cultural, and industrial leaders who integrate the breadth and depth of an arts and sciences education with technical expertise in computer science.
Students majoring in Integrated Computer Science must earn grades of C or better in all courses required for the program in the Computational Courses, Computational Course Electives, Integration Electives, and Integrated Computer Science Capstone.
