Note: Computer science majors are not allowed to
count CSCI-A 201 Introduction to Programming toward
the minor. No student may count both CSCI-A 201
Introduction to Programming and CSCI-C 101 Computer
Programming I toward the minor.
At least 3 credit hours from each of the areas of computer
science or mathematics, philosophy, and psychology,
chosen from the courses listed above, must be included in
the program, subject to the following exception. Because
no course can count toward both a major and a minor,
students who major in one of the departments listed
above (mathematics, computer science, philosophy, or
psychology) may be allowed to count an extra course in
one of the other departments toward the cognitive science
minor if they need to apply all courses listed above in their
major area toward that major. This substitution is subject
to the approval of the Cognitive Science Committee.
All minor programs require approval by the Cognitive
Science Committee. Courses not listed above may be
included with permission of the committee. Such courses
are not restricted to the areas of mathematics, computer
science, psychology, and philosophy; there may also be
appropriate courses from anthropology, linguistics, or
neuroscience, among others.

of Science in Management of Information Technology
offered by the School of Business and Economics.
The Bachelor of Science degree program follows the
guidelines set out by the Association for Computing
Machinery (ACM) and Institute of Electrical and
Electronic Engineers (IEEE), the leading professional
computing societies. Students in this degree program
complete a core curriculum that builds an overall
understanding of computers, computing environments,
and theoretical issues. The degree prepares students to
enter challenging computing careers in the workplace or
to embark on postgraduate programs in computing.
The Master of Science in Applied Mathematics and
Computer Science is offered jointly with the Department
of Mathematical Sciences. Students in the program take
advanced courses in both computer science and applied
mathematics, with emphasis on real-world problems
and applications. A complete description of this program
begins on page 259.
The minor in Cognitive Science is offered jointly with
the departments of mathematical sciences, philosophy,
and psychology. A complete description of this program
begins on page 168.
The Bachelor of Science in Informatics and the minor in
informatics are offered jointly with a number of other
departments at IU South Bend. A complete description
of this program begins on page 183.
SCHEDULING OF COMPUTER SCIENCE COURSES
To help students make long-range curriculum plans, the
department attempts to offer courses in a predictable
fashion. Courses are offered both in the daytime and in
the evenings (5:30 p.m. or later).
Any student who intends to major or minor in computer
science or obtain a departmental certificate should
contact the chairperson of the Department of Computer
and Information Sciences as soon as possible to arrange
for academic advising.
PLACEMENT EXAMINATION
Students planning to enroll in CSCI-C 101 Computer
Programming I must place at Level 3 of the mathematics
placement examination before registering for the course.
The department offers a Bachelor of Science in Computer
Science, a Master of Science in Applied Mathematics and
Computer Science, minors in Computer Science and
Computer Applications, and certificates in Computer
Programming, Advanced Computer Programming,
Computer Applications, and Technology Administration.
The Department of Computer and Information Sciences
offers minors in Informatics and Cognitive Science and a
Bachelor of Science in Informatics, in collaboration with
other departments. It also provides support to the Master
