Bachelor of Science in Computer Science (BS-CS)
Effective Fall 2012
 |
The Bachelor of Science in Computer Science (BS-CS) at the University of Georgia
provides a strong foundation in computer science theory and practice in the context
of a liberal arts education. Typical BS-CS program graduates pursue careers in software development,
systems administration, consulting, or project management. In addition, BS-CS graduates pursue
graduate studies at universities throughout the country. The BS-CS program at The University of
Georgia is accredited by the CAC Commission of ABET.

Note: Many courses can count for both a General Education Core and Franklin College requirement.
For instance, taking HIST 2111 fulfills Franklin College's History requirement, provides hours
toward the Social Sciences requirement for UGA, and also fulfills the United States and
Georgia History requirement. All BS-CS students are required to consult an
academic advisor prior to registering for classes.
Major Requirements for Computer Science
In addition to fulfilling University of Georgia's General Education Core Curriculum, BS-CS students
complete major coursework. BS-CS major coursework consist of both Area IV (Major) courses as well
as BS-CS Major Requirements and BS-CS Electives. All major-related coursework and associated
pre-requisites must be fulfilled with grades of C (2.0) or higher.
A student's matriculation date at UGA determines which set of major requirements he or she must fulfill.
Students who matriculated prior to the Fall 2012 semester must fulfill these requirements.

gaining insight into the pre-requisite structure. However, please note that
