Footnotes
| 1 | Students may choose between a C/C++ (CPTS 121, 122, 223, 360) path or a Java programming (CPTS 131, 132, 233, 370) path. Students should stick to one path option. The Java track is not available in Tri Cities. |
| 2 | Either math sequence below will satisfy the math requirement for this degree. Sequence B will allow a broader selection of advanced computer science electives. The course work in mathematics must total at least fifteen semester hours (including MATH 216). Sequence A: MATH 201, 202, STAT 212, and a MATH elective chosen from the following list: MATH 364, 416, or STAT 412. Sequence B: MATH 171, 172, 220, and STAT 212 or STAT 360. |
| 3 | Elective credits may include a minor program. Completion of a minor is strongly encouraged. |
| 4 | Science electives: A minimum of 15 credits required. Must include a year-long sequence (two semesters including a laboratory in each semester) of [BSCI], [PSCI], or [SCI] and two additional science courses, one of which must have a laboratory component. Electives include BIOLOGY 106, 107; CHEM 101, 102 or 105, 106; PHYSICS 101, 102 or 201, 202. |
| 5 | Advanced CPT S Electives: 18 credits required. At least 12 credit must be in CPT S courses and include a minimum of 6 credits of 400 or 500 level courses. The remaining 6 credits may be at the 300, 400 or 500 level in CPT S (preferred), MATH, STAT, E E, PHYSICS or another department with the approval of the EECS advisor. Students certified at Tri-Cities must include two courses from CPT 427, 440, 442, 460, 471, and 481. Consult with advisor at campus of residence for course choices. |
