Computer Science - Systems and Networks Concentration (BS)

University Requirements:

• ENGL 110 - Seminar in Composition  (C- minimum)
• First Year Seminar (FYS)  (0-4 credits)
• Discovery Learning Experience (DLE)  (three credits)
• Multicultural Requirement  (three credits)
• University Breadth Requirements  (C- minimum):
  • Creative Arts and Humanities  (three credits)
  • History and Cultural Change  (three credits)
  • Social and Behavioral Sciences  (three credits)
  • Mathematics, Natural Sciences, and Technology  (three credits)
• Capstone Experience  

College Requirements:

• The College of Engineering requires nine additional breadth credits (21 credits total including the University Breadth requirements) (minimum grade of C-).
  • These nine credits may be selected in any combination from the University Breadth Requirements  list and the College of Engineering Breadth Requirement List  in any category except Math, Natural Sciences and Technology.
  • Of the 21 credits, six credits must be at the Upper Level, defined as:
    • any 300-level or higher course on the University Breadth Requirement list (excluding Math, Natural Sciences and Technology courses).
    • any 300-level or higher course on the College of Engineering Breadth Requirement list (excluding Math, Natural Sciences and Technology courses).
    • any foreign language instruction course at the 107 level or higher as designated on the College of Engineering Breadth Requirement list (some courses above the 107 level do NOT count toward this requirement because they are taught in English).
  • A maximum of two courses (six credits) can be taken from the Career and Professional Preparation sub-section of the College of Engineering Breadth Requirement list to satisfy the College of Engineering additional breadth requirement.
  • Of the 21 credits, three credits may be used to satisfy the University Multicultural Requirement (recommended for timely progress toward degree completion).
  • With few exceptions, students may not use courses from their major to satisfy Breadth Requirement coursework.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Courses taken from the College of Engineering Breadth Requirement list can ONLY count toward the additional nine credits of breadth the College of Engineering requires for its majors. They CANNOT count for University Breadth.
