Advisement for the major is available from the Mathematics and Computer Science Department.
The computer science major requires 18 courses (65-68 credits) arranged in four components:
- Mathematics Core for computer science (16 credits);
- Lower-Division Computer Science Core (16 credits);
- Upper-Division Computer Science Core (23 credits); and
- Three Upper-Level Electives (9-10 credits, selected with the guidance of a faculty advisor).
- All required mathematics and computer science courses and all Upper-Level Electives must be completed with grades of C or better (or pass if they are offered only on a P/F basis).
- No course may be taken until all prerequisite courses have been completed with grades of C or better.
- Transfer students majoring in computer science are required to complete at least 12 hours of upper-level computer science courses with grades of C or better at Salisbury University (excluding those taken P/F).
- Students may not receive credit for computer science courses which are prerequisites for or equivalent to computer science courses for which they have already received native or transfer credit.
- Computer science courses taken before declaring the computer science major should be evaluated by an advisor before proceeding with course selection.
Checklist
This checklist is an unofficial tool for planning. Matriculated students and advisors should consult the Academic Requirements Report in GullNet before and after registering for classes each semester to track academic progress.
