³ÉÈËAVÊÓƵ

The Osprey Map provides a term-by-term sample schedule for each undergraduate academic program at the ³ÉÈËAVÊÓƵ. It is designed to guide students in the selection of courses each term. The "Mile Marker" courses are those courses that should be completed before or by the end of that term. Following the sample schedule, and completing the mile marker courses at the appropriate point of your undergraduate career, will facilitate graduation in four years. The term-by-term model assumes full-time enrollment. For students enrolled part-time, the sample schedule and mile markers should be followed based on the number of credits completed. The Osprey Map should be used in consultation with an academic advisor.

The Computer Science major focuses on studying the theoretical foundations of the computing field, and system-level design and programming. Students study the intricacies and design principals of sophisticated computing systems such as compilers, operating systems, algorithm analysis and design, and artificial intelligence. The Computer Science program has a significant component of math and science courses. Graduates of the program will be prepared to create new technologies that apply to a wide variety of application areas. Systems engineer and systems programmer are typical titles for the first job of the program graduates.

Career Planning
Engaging in career planning activities is significant to student success. ³ÉÈËAVÊÓƵ offers customized career centers to deliver targeted programs, events, services and resources. First-Year and Exploratory students should visit the webpage and Sophomore or higher level students with a declared CCEC major should visit the CCEC Career Development Center.

Students should refer to their personalized Degree Evaluation provided by an academic advisor and to other university resources for additional university and college-specific policies. Visit the undergraduate university catalog for more information.

Summer terms may be utilized to facilitate graduation in four years.

• Visit the university catalog for a list of General Education requirements. An Associate in Arts (AA) degree from a Florida public university, state college or community college satisfies ³ÉÈËAVÊÓƵ general education and Gordon Rule requirements. Math selection is contingent upon appropriate placement score, the student's major and credit received through accelerated mechanisms (Advanced Placement, International Baccalaureate, Dual Enrollment, etc).
• Visit the School of Computing home page for additional information. Introductory 'C' is the preferred prerequisite programming language and will be used in subsequent courses. Students requiring preparation for MAC 2311 Calculus I should take MAC 1147 Precalculus. In addition to the Physics requirement, two science courses for science majors are required. The following ³ÉÈËAVÊÓƵ courses, and courses with equivalent content, are acceptable for fulfilling the science for science majors' requirement: AST2002 Discovering Astronomy, BSC1010C General Biology I, BSC1011C General Biology II, CHM2045 General Chemistry I, CHM2046 General Chemistry II and ESC2000 Discovering Earth Science. For more information consult an academic advisor and visit the School of Computing Advising Office webpage.
• Students must adhere to the School of Computing's Student Attendance Policy.
• A spoken presentation is a graduation requirement for the Computer Science program, and must be completed while enrolled in an upper-level School of Computing course. Most students choose to complete the spoken presentation in CIS3253 Legal and Ethical Issues in Computing. Spoken presentations are evaluated by the faculty member administering the course.
• School of Computing Satisfactory Progress Policy: The School of Computing enforces the "one repeat" rule for all prerequisite and core courses offered by the School for its major programs. Students who do not successfully complete a prerequisite or core requirement for a School of Computing course on the first attempt (i.e., earn a grade of D, F, W, WP or WF) will be granted one chance to repeat the course. Students who do not successfully complete a prerequisite or core requirement within two attempts will not be permitted to register for courses offered by the School in future semesters. This stipulation applies whether or not the student has declared a major in a School of Computing program.
• CIS3949 Internship may count toward a Computer Science Elective for a maximum of 3 credit hours.
• Civic Literacy Requirement: Prior to graduation from a Florida state university, students must demonstrate competency in civic literacy through successful completion of a civic literacy course (AMH 2010, AMH 2020, or POS 2041) and by achieving a passing score on an assessment. Consult an academic advisor, the university catalog and visit the Civic Literacy webpage for additional information.
• The B.S. in Computer Science requires 120 total semester hours, including 59 upper-level (3000/4000) hours.
