COMPUTER CRIMINOLOGY (CRIMINOLOGY)

Requirements
Requirements for graduation in the College of Arts and Sciences include:
The College of Arts and Science requires proficiency in a foreign language through the intermediate (2220 or equivalent) level or sign language through the advanced (ASL2160C or equivalent) level.

Requirements for Progression to the Upper-Division Major
Students must complete at least 52 semester hours of credit with a minimum grade point average of 3.0, at least half the required General Education hours including two English and two mathematics, or an A.A. Degree.

D/F Policy

1) A student who has not yet completed the prerequisite courses required for upper-division status (CHM 1045 & lab, CHM 1046 & lab, BSC 2010 & lab, BSC 2011 & lab) and earned more than one unsatisfactory grade (U, F, D-, D, D+) in courses required for the major in biological science (biological science, chemistry, physics, mathematics, and statistics) and their prerequisites at Florida State University or elsewhere, whether or not repeated, will not be permitted to graduate from Florida State University with a degree in biological science;

2) A student who has completed the prerequisite courses required for upper-division status (CHM 1045 & lab, CHM 1046 & lab, BSC 2010 & lab, BSC 2011 & lab) and earned more than three unsatisfactory grades (U, F, D-, D, D+) in courses required for the major in biological sciences (biological science, chemistry, physics, mathematics, and statistics) and their prerequisites at Florida State University or elsewhere, whether or not repeated, will not be permitted to graduate from Florida State University with a degree in biological science.
