Computer Science with an Emphasis Major Requiremtents
This option is recommended primarily for students interested in combining computer science with another discipline. Increasing use of technology for research, data analysis and new developments is common in almost all disciplines. This multidisciplinary option prepares students for new technologies, analysis techniques and research for the purposes of going to graduate school and/or pursuing a career in technology driven areas of their chosen discipline. The mathematics track shown below is an example and emphasizes theory and modeling in addition to traditional software and systems classes. Please see your advisor for options for other disciplines.
