Description of Major
This major provides a broad-based background sufficient for entry to a career in computing. It provides a systems view of computing, emphasizing the interdependence of design, object orientation, and distributed systems and networks, from basic software through systems design. This major develops core competencies in programming, database structure, computer organization, and operating systems. It allows opportunities to study a range of other aspects of computer and information science, such as information security, data communication/ networks, computer and network systems administration, theoretical computer science, and software engineering. Every student can expect to become proficient at programming in C , C++, and Assembly Language. Additionally, students will be exposed to other languages such as Java, C#, Ada, Lisp, Scheme, Prolog, Perl, and HTML. This major is available on campus or through Distance Learning.

The coursework required for this major includes an embedded collateral minor in mathematics. It is ABET/CAC accredited and is intended to be sufficient for entry to a graduate program in computer science.

Note to prospective transfer students. Prospective transfer students should contact (Arts & Sciences Admissions) with specific questions about admission and mapping requirements.

Internet Supported Distance Learning.
The programs available through internet-supported distance learning are degree programs that enable students with an Associate in Arts (A.A.) degree from a Florida public institution to earn an FSU bachelor’s degree without moving to Tallahassee. The programs are designed for part time study. Each student receives access to a course Web site and the e-mail addresses of everyone associated with the class. A unique feature of the distance learning programs is the support FSU provides through an assigned Mentor. Mentors serve as learning guides, helping to facilitate each individual student’s success

Course programme

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 (2614 or equivalent) level. Foreign language courses are not available via distance learning.

Admissions/Continuation Requirements to the Major Program of Studies:
Students should complete the prerequisite coursework with the grade of “C minus” or higher in order to be considered for entrance to the major program of study. Students must also have completed a minimum of 52 hours of credit and at least half the required hours in General Education requirements, including the required two English and two mathematics, or an A.A degree.

Distance Learning students must complete the A.A. from a Florida public institution, required prerequisites, and a Supplemental Admissions Application prior to admission. Distance Learning students should also complete the oral competency requirement and the College of Arts and Sciences foreign language requirement prior to admissions. In accordance with the University residency rule, degree requirements not available online must be completed prior to the final 30 hours of the degree. The Computer Science major is limited access. The minimum GPA for acceptance is 2.65 and students in the program must maintain a 2.50 GPA.

*The undergraduate programs in computer science are limited access*, requiring a minimum 2.65 all college-level work attempted GPA for formal admission. All State Common Program Prerequisites listed as Term 1-4 milestones must be completed with a "C" range (C minus, C, or C+) grade or better. Students earning less than the necessary grade in any of these courses will be required to retake those courses until the standard is met.

Note: retaking a course may delay graduation and incur increased fee liability (i.e., repeat course surcharge and excess credit surcharge).

Upon formal admission into the program, the student must:
• complete all courses required for the major with a grade of "C minus" or better;
• maintain a 2.5 all-college-level-work-attempted GPA, excluding the Term 1-4 State Common Prerequisites milestone courses;
• not receive more than 3 unsatisfactory grades combined in Programming I (COP3014 or COP3363) and Object-Oriented Programming (COP3330);
• not accumulate more than 5 unsatisfactory grades (U, F, D minus, D, D+) in courses required for the major, excluding Term 1-4 State Common Prerequisites milestone courses, taken after enrolling at FSU.
