- Upper-Division Computer Science Core (23 credits); and
- Three Upper-Level Electives (9-10 credits, selected with the guidance of a faculty advisor).
General Major Requirements
- 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.
