Course Descriptions

Bachelor of Science in Computer Science
Required Coursework *
 

The Bachelor of Science in Computer Science is composed of 124 semester credit hours of coursework. The coursework encompasses University Requirements that are required of all Winthrop students, Computer Science courses, math and science courses that support the computer science degree, electives, and a minor. The minor may be from any discipline. Because the ABET accreditation of the computer science degree requires 30 credit hours of science and math courses, computer science majors frequently choose to also use those courses toward a minor in either mathematics, science, or information systems. Several courses, such as CSCI327, fulfill multiple requirements of the University and the Department.
