Suggested Sequence for B.S. in Computer Science*
(Revised 7/22/08)
__________________
NOTES:
* This sequence of courses is only a suggestion; because of class availability, some courses may need to be taken in different terms.
What is important is that students should complete at least 30 semester hours per year to complete all degree requirements in four
years.
**BIDS 1705 does not count in hours for graduation
Foreign Language I is not required -- only Foreign Language II
First semester freshman are required to take BIDS 1705. This course does not count in the required 120 hours for graduation.
The US and Georgia constitution special legislative requirements are satisfied by earning a passing grade in POLS 1150.
MATH 1261 and 1262 are required courses in the major. MATH 1113 and 1114 are preparatory courses for students needing
additional preparation prior to taking the calculus sequence. MATH 1115 and 1116 is an option with “just-in-time” precalculus
reviews and satisfies MATH 1261. Students should register for MATH 1262 after completing MATH 1116.
RGTT Test - Student's must register and sit for the Regent's Test no later than the semester of enrollment immediately following
the completing 30 credit hours. Transfer students from outside of the University System of Georgia must complete the Regent's
Test within 2 semesters of their arrival.
US & GA History special legislative requirements (As of Fall 2000) must be satisfied by earning a passing grade in HIST 2111,
HIST 2112, or HIST 4415 or by passing an examination (See GCSU Undergraduate Catalog under Special Legislative
Requirements). Contact Department of History & Geography for Test.
Elective Upper Level requirements assume that Natural Science I and II are taken at the lower level. For each hour of Natural
Science taken at the upper level, a corresponding number of hours of upper level elective is changed to any level. You must have a
total of 39 credit hours taken at the Upper Level (3000 - 4000).
120 credit hours are required to graduate excluding BIDS 1705
A grade of C or better is required in all courses counting toward the major.
Total semester hours required for graduation 120 hours
2.0 Institutional GPA required for graduation Application for Graduation (should be filed 3rd semester before graduation)
