The Computer Science concentration is designed for students who wish to apply their knowledge to the development of systems level software programs. These applications include but not limited to: real-time graphics simulations, distributed systems, and operating systems. It will also be an asset for those students who are planning for graduate work in computer science. The CS concentration supplements the computing core curriculum with courses in data structures, algorithms, computer architecture, and operating systems. The concentration also requires additional hours of mathematics and science, including the calculus sequence required of mathematics majors and one additional lab science. Grade Requirements
In order to remain in good standing, a computing major must attain:
-
An overall GPA of 2.5 or better; and
-
A GPA of 2.5 or better in all computing courses; and
-
A grade of “B-” or better in CSCI 1250 ; and
-
A grade of “C-” or better in all other major requirements. This includes both common core and concentration-specific courses and all courses from other departments that satisfy major requirements.
- A minimum grade of “C” in ENGL 1010 and ENGL 1020 .
All concentrations must complete 124 credit hours, including the ETSU General Education Requirements, the common computing core, and the concentration-specific courses.
CISC majors must pass the proficiency exam or complete CSCI 1100 Using Information Technology prior to accumulating 30 semester credit hours.
General Program Information
To earn a degree from ETSU, there are specific course requirements established 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 outlined in the following list:
University-level Degree and Graduation Requirements
Total Credit Hours for Degree: 124
TBR General Education Requirements: 41 Credit Hours
Listed below are 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, only those courses are listed under the category. If there are no specific major requirements for a category, all course options appear.
Communication
9 credits, consisting of 6 credits of written composition and 3 credits of oral communication. Written Composition
Complete both of the following: Oral Communication
Complete one of the following: Humanities and Fine Arts
9 credits, consisting of 3 credits of literature, 3 credits of fine arts, and 3 credits of humanities electives. Literature
Complete one of the following: Fine Arts
Complete one of the following: Humanities Electives
Complete one of the following: Social and Behavioral Sciences
6 credits, consisting of two of the following: History
6 credits, consisting of both of the following: Natural Sciences
8 credits, consisting of two of the following in the same science sequence (discipline.) (Some require labs which are listed directly after the lecture.)
Mathematics
Students will enroll in the appropriate general education math course during their first calendar year of enrollment at ETSU. Students required to complete learning support in mathematics must enroll in a learning support-designated section (L01-L99) of MATH 1530 during their first 15 hours at ETSU (not including summer) unless they are also required to complete learning support in reading or writing. Students needing learning support in reading or writing in addition to learning support in math should enroll in MATH 1530-Lxx immediately upon completing their other learning support requirements. Additional information may be found on the University Advisement Center website www.etsu.edu/uac/learningsupport/ Computing Core Requirements: 33 credit hours
Computer Science Concentration: 36 Credit Hours
Major Electives - 9 credit hours
Three approved CSCI electives (at least one at the 3000-4000 level) for a total of 9 credit hours. Free Electives: 5 Credit Hours
