2005-06 Undergraduate Catalog
Majors
A minimum of 120 semester hours and a junior/senior-level GPA are 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, 2313 and the first physics course with a C or better grade while maintaining a 2.5 critical-tracking GPA. Students with little or no programming background should take the CIS 3022/3023 sequence in place of CIS 3020. Fulfilling the minimum requirements, however, does not guarantee admission to the program.
Students must earn a grade of C or better in course work for the major and satisfy all college requirements to graduate.
