35 TOTAL CREDIT HOURSBACHELOR OF ARTS DEGREE
The Bachelor of Arts in Computer Science serves as a
professional degree for those not wishing to pursue
graduate work in Computer Science. It is designed for the
student who wishes to have a broad background in
Computer Science coupled with some exposure to
accounting. Those who plan to obtain a two-field teaching
certificate with computer science as one of the fields should
consult the requirements listed on pages 59-62.
Admission Requirements
Before being admitted to this program, a student must
satisfy the requirements listed under "Initial Academic
Programs," p. 14.
General Education Requirements
General Education requirements for the BA are listed on
page 19.
Departmental Requirements
Departmental requirements for the BA in Computer Science
are as follows:
1. Required Computer Science courses, 32 hrs.: CS 151,
152, 161,162, 163 (C), 163 (COBOL), 351, 352,
354, 454, 495, and six advanced hours of computer
science electives.
2. Other required courses, 18 hrs.: (MATH 185, 186) or
(MATH 130, 131), MATH 127; ACCT 200 and
201; ENGL 367.
3. Students planning to use this degree as a basis for
entering the teaching profession at the secondary level
may wish to choose Mathematics or Business
Administration as the second teaching field. In doing
so, twelve of the eighteen hours specified in item 2
above would count towards the second field.
General Electives
To obtain a total of 128 credit hours, the student majoring
in Computer Science may need to take 5 hours of general
electives. Arrange your electives to ensure 33 semester hours
of advanced work.COURSE DESCRIPTIONS
The numbers following course titles indicate (1) hours of
lecture per week, (2) hours of laboratory per week, and (3)
semester credit hours. An asterisk following these three
figures indicates that the course carries variable or alternative
credit and that the figures represent the maximum variation.
In general, credit hours for these courses may range from
one to the number indicated. Note that some courses are
offered less than once a year. Failure to complete these
courses when they are offered may delay graduation.
Students in the Honors Program should consult the
department head about upper-division courses.

personal computing emphasizing the interrelation of hardware with
software on microcomputers. Also includes instruction in the use of word
processing, spreadsheet, database management, and communications
programs. This course does not fulfill degree requirements for majors in
Mathematics. Course fee: $60.
CS 141 Introduction to Scientific Computing (3-0-3), fall of odd
numbered years. Introduction to problem solving methods, structured
algorithms, and machine representation of numbers, strings, and arrays.
Structured FORTRAN programming with emphasis on science and
engineering applications. Prerequisite: credit for or concurrent registration
in MATH 185.
CS 151 Introduction to Computer Science I (3-0-3), fall, spring.
An introduction to computing problem analysis and the development of
structured solution algorithms and programs. Prerequisites: prior experience
in using digital computers or credit for CS 160, fulfillment of the
general mathematics requirement, and concurrent registration in CS 161.
CS 152 Introduction to Computer Science H (3-0-3), spring.
Continues the development of good programming methods and
problem-solving abilities. Recursion, search/sort methods, and the
machine representation/manipulation of simple and dynamic data
structures. Prerequisites: a grade of C or better in both CS 151, and CS
161, concurrent registration in CS 162. Computer science majors must
have credit for or concurrent registration in CS 127.
CS 160 BASIC Programming Laboratory (1-2-1), fall, spring.
Introduction to structured BASIC programming with an emphasis on
good programming style in designing, coding, debugging, and
documenting programs. Course fee: $60. Prerequisite: prior experience or
credit for CS 105, and fulfillment of the general math requirement.
CS 161 Pascal Programming Laboratory I (1-2-1), fall, spring.
Introduction to structured Pascal programming with an emphasis on good
programming style in designing, coding, debugging, and documenting
programs. Course fee: $60. Prerequisite: concurrent registration in CS 151.
CS 162 Pascal Programming Laboratory I (1-2-1), spring.
Students will develop further competence in Pascal. Advanced topics to be
covered include: Dynamic data structures such as pointers, linked-lists, and
trees; as well as recursion and variant records. Course fee: $50.
Prerequisite: concurrent registration in CS 152.6
