Capstone Experience: 3 Credits

Each student completing a B.S. or B.A. in Computer Science is required to engage in a capstone experience of three or more credits: either CIS 480  or @CIS 490 . To complete this requirement, a student prepares a formal proposal for approval by the Computer Science faculty, performs the proposed work, and presents written and oral reports to the Computer Science Department. Most students choose to complete their capstone experience through a credit internship (@CIS 490 ).

One of the following

• CIS 480 - Senior Project 3-6 Credit(s) (3 credits required for capstone)
• @CIS 490 - Computer Science Internship 1-6 Credit(s) (3 credits required for capstone)

Cognate Requirements in Mathematics: 11-15 Credits

**MATH 461  may be used to meet the MATH 125  requirement.

• MATH 125 - Probability and Statistics I 3 Credit(s) **

• or

• CIS 125 - Statistics 3 Credit(s)

•  

• MATH 151 - Calculus I 4 Credit(s)

• or

• MATH 141 - Integrated calculus, IA 4 Credit(s) and
• MATH 142 - Integrated Calculus, IB 4 Credit(s)

•  

• MATH 152 - Calculus II 4 Credit(s)

Cognate Requirements in Science: 8 Credits

One of the following

• BIOL 151 - Gen Bio: Cells & Genetics 4 Credit(s) and
• BIOL 152 - Gen Bio: Organisms & Ecology 4 Credit(s)

• or

• CHEM 105 - General Chemistry 1 1-3 Credit(s) and
• CHEM 106 - General Chemistry 2 1-3 Credit(s)

Note(s)

• No courses other than CIS 201 , CIS 480 , or @CIS 490  can be taken for S/U credit and applied toward the requirements for the major in Computer Science.
• A student must have a GPA of at least 2.0 in the Computer Science major requirements to register for CIS 480 - Senior Project  or @CIS 490 - Computer Science Internship .

• Computer Science majors/minors with catalog years before Fall 2022 who complete CIS 203  before Spring 2023 will continue with degree requirements without CIS 205  . CIS 203  will be the prerequisite for advanced Computer Science courses (CIS 3xx and CIS 4xx) for such students.

• Beginning with the Fall 2022 catalog, Computer Science majors/minors must follow the revised program requirements and take CIS 205  after CIS 203  . CIS 205  will be the prerequisite for advanced Computer Science courses (CIS 3xx and CIS 4xx) for such students.
