The IT concentration supplements the CSCI core curriculum with courses in web development, database, system administration, and human computer interaction. This concentration is designed for students who wish to apply their knowledge in web development, database management, or system administration, and for those who plan graduate work in information technology.

Grade Requirements


In order to graduate, a computing major must attain:

  1. An overall GPA of 2.5 or better; and

  2. A GPA of 2.5 or better in all computing courses; and

  3. A grade of “B-” or better in CSCI 1250 ; and

General Program Information


To earn a degree from ETSU, there are specific course requirements put forth by ETSU, by the Tennessee Board of Regents (TBR), by each college, and by each department. All students must meet the degree requirements at each of these levels. Please follow the format below:

University-level Degree and Graduation Requirements


Total Credit Hours for Degree: 124


TBR General Education Requirements: 41 Credit Hours


Below you will see the categories and courses specified under TBR General Education Requirements. Note that certain courses are required for this degree, specific to this major. Thus, these courses will satisfy both a TBR General Education requirement AND a requirement of this major. (Other majors may require different General Education courses.) Where specific courses are required for this major, we only list those courses under the category. If there are no specific major requirements for a category, all course options appear.
