Computer Science Kernel
To ensure breadth and a solid foundation within the discipline, all students in the major must complete the entirety of the Computer Science Kernel. Requirements for the Computer Science Kernel (18 credits):
Auxiliary (12-13 credits)*:
- MATH - 110. Calculus I 4 credit(s) **
- MATH - 120. Calculus II 4 credit(s)
OR - BAAS - 130. Business Mathematics 3 credit(s) ***
- BAAS - 140. Quantitative Business Analytics 3 credit(s)
- BAAS - 200. Business Statistics I 3 credit(s) ****
- MATH - 250. Discrete Structures 4 credit(s)
* Students planning to complete the Artificial Intelligence, CS Education, or Game Development tracks must take MATH-110 and MATH-120. ** Placement into MATH-110 is made based on the results of a test administered by the Mathematics Department, and a Precalculus course may be required prior to taking MATH-110.
*** BAAS-130 has a prerequisite of BAAS-105, but that prerequisite can be waived by passing a placement exam administered by the School of Business during a semester’s registration period in order to place out of BAAS-105.
**** BAAS-200 has CSIS-011 or CSIS-010 or CSIS-SSX as one of its prerequisites in order to ensure some experience with spreadsheets before taking the course.
