UA South : Computer Science
Computer Science
Through the University of Arizona South, you can complete a Bachelor of Science, Computer Science Major. The purpose of the major is to provide both depth and breadth in computer science courses, and senior electives. This provides all students with a solid foundation in computer science, and accommodates the special interests of the individual students.
Personnel at UA South are qualified to help you plan your program and answer questions about the computer science curriculum. Consult with your advisor for details.
You may complete your first two years of school at a local community college, such as Cochise College or Pima Community College.
After completion of two CS courses at UA South, you may complete an application to the CS Major.
You will take about 28 units of course work in upper-division computer science.
Completing a minor is optional. Mathematics is a popular choice of minor. Given the math prerequisites, only three additional courses are required to complete a math minor.
