Read the sections describing general education and CLAS requirements. Refer especially to the Majors and Minors in the College section.

GENERAL INFORMATION: The department was created to serve the needs of the entire university. Several service courses and degree programs are available. Bache-lor’s degree programs and a minor are available in the colleges of Liberal Arts and Sciences, Business Admini-stration and Engineering. For a description of the minor, refer to the CISE section in the College of Engineering. Master’s degree programs and a Ph.D. program are also available.

THE MAJOR IN CLAS: A minimum of 120 semes-ter hours and a junior/senior level GPA of 2.0 is required for a bachelor’s degree with a major from the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences.

To continue to the junior/senior level, a student should complete all general education requirements, at least MAC 2311, 2312 and 2313 and the first physics course with a C+ or better grade. Students must also take two courses in computer science as part of their general education. Fulfilling the minimum requirements, how-ever, does not guarantee admission to the program.

Department requirements:

Mathematics requirements MAC 2311, 2312 and 2313, MAS 3114 and STA 4033.

Physics requirement PHY 2048L or 2053L and either PHY 2048 or 2053; PHY 2049L or 2053L and either PHY 2049 or 2053.

English requirement ENC 2210 (grade of C or better).

Major courses CIS 3020 (grade of C or better) and 4914, CDA 3101, COP 3530 and 4600, COT 3100 and 4501, CEN 3031 and EEL 3701C.

One of COP 4720 or CAP 4800.
Six hours of approved CISE electives.
An exit interview is required during the last semester. Please see a CISE adviser.

Prior to registering for CIS 4914, a project must be approved by an adviser.

The student also must satisfy the basic distribution requirements.

HONORS: A student must attain an overall GPA of 3.5. High or highest honors requires two additional approved CISE courses. Highest honors also overall GPA of 3.8. A student must petition for approval to attempt CISE honors at least one semester before graduation.

THE MINOR: Refer to the CISE section in the Col-lege of Engineering.

NOTE: Read the Academic Advising section of this catalog regarding the Gordon Rule communication and computation requirement. Many general education courses qualify; check the schedule of courses. Six gen-eral education credits must be international/diversity (I).

Critical tracking courses for semester 1-4 are bold; these courses must be completed with a combined GPA of 2.5 or higher and must be completed during the se-mester listed or earlier.
