Sciences 1001, 1003, 1002, 1004; or Physics 1061, 1063, 1062,
1065. (In some cases, comparable courses intended for respective
majors may also be acceptable.) Science electives must be in biology,
chemistry, earth and environmental sciences, or physics, and
must include at least three hours in a science other than that
of the science sequence. The University requires each student to
complete three hours of biology; this requirement may be met
through the science sequence, science electives, or free electives.
5. Foreign language electives must include a six-hour sequence.
6. English electives and three additional hours in humanities or
social sciences must be above the freshman level. The College and
the University require that six of these hours be in literature.
7. A computer science proficiency exam administered by the department
must be passed by the student by the final semester of
studies.
Mathematics 2107, 2108, and 2109 may be substituted for Mathematics
2111 and 2112. Entering freshmen not qualifying for Mathematics
1126 must take Mathematics 1125; this course may be counted toward
degree credit.

Concentration in Information Assurance
The Department offers a declared concentration in Information
Assurance. Students who opt for this concentration are required to
fulfill the following requirements:
1. Completion of the following two courses: Computer Science 4621
and 4623;
2. Completion of one “project-oriented” elective course. The following
courses may be chosen for this requirement. Computer Science
4208, 4402, 4460, or 4620. Other courses may be substituted upon
approval by the Department;
3. Completion of one non-technical elective course. The following
courses may be chosen for this requirement: Mathematics 4360
(Mathematical Information Theory), Management 4407 (Management
of Technology and Innovation), or Political Science 4410
(American Constitutional Law). Other courses may be substituted
upon approval by the Department.
Minor in Computer Science
An undergraduate majoring in a department other than Computer
Science may earn a minor in Computer Science by completing the
following computer science courses each with a grade of C or better:
Computer Science 1581, 1583, 2120, 2121, 2125, 2450, 3301, and one three
credit 4000-level course selected from an approved list. (It should be
noted that Mathematics 2721 is a prerequisite for Computer Science
2125.) A transfer student must complete a minimum of nine credit
hours in required computer science courses at UNO, and these must
include Computer Science 2125 and a three credit 4000-level course
from the approved list.
Honors in Computer Science
An honors program is available to Computer Science majors. Successful
completion of the program will result in graduation with Honors
in Computer Science. To be eligible for admission to the program, a
student must complete Computer Science 2125 and must have a faculty
member willing to serve as thesis advisor. The student must also have
an overall average of 3.25 or better and an average of 3.5 or better in
Computer Science courses. In order to remain in the program, a student
must maintain these averages.
In order to complete the program a student must do the
following:
1. fulfill all graduation requirements for the Bachelor of Science in
Computer Science;
2. have an overall average of 3.25 or better and an average of 3.5 or
better in computer science courses;
3. earn six credits in Computer Science 3099;
4. produce a written honors thesis and conduct an oral defense
before a committee consisting of the faculty thesis advisor, at
least one other faculty member selected by the department chairman,
and a representative of the Honors Program.
CURRICULUM IN EARTH AND ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCES
To earn a Bachelor of Science degree in earth and environmental
sciences, a student must receive credit for 126 hours of coursework
including the core courses listed below plus the required and elective
courses for one of the four CONCENTRATIONS: environmental science
and policy, coastal science and restoration, petroleum geology and
geology. The curriculum allows students flexibility to pursue a variety
of specialties for career opportunities in earth and environmental sciences,
environmental science, oil and gas exploration, coastal studies
or specializations aimed at graduate study. Specific required and elective
course information for the four concentrations can be obtained
from the departmental office. Career opportunities and the graduate
program information can be found there as well.
