Core IMPACTS (CREDIT: 42 HOURS)
It is recommended that students pursuing a degree in computer science follow these recommendations for optimal progression of degree completion. Failure to follow these recommendations will result in having to take additional coursework outside of Core IMPACTS requirements to meet the requirements for the major.
Mathematics & Quantitative Skills:
Any permitted course may be used to satisfy the Mathematics & Quantitative Skills Core IMPACTS requirement. It is suggested that students pursuing a degree in computer science complete MATH 1113 (Precalculus) in this area. Not completing the recommended course may require additional credit hour accrual.
Technology, Math, & Science Option:
Any permitted course may be used to satisfy the Technology, Math, & Science Option Core IMPACTS requirement. It is suggested that students pursuing a degree in computer science complete MATH 1401 (Elementary Statistics) in this area. Not completing the recommended course may require additional credit hour accrual.
