Bachelor of Science in Computer Science

Recommended Course Schedule

The following are the recommended course schedules that cover all courses required for the B.S. in Computer Science. The students will select the appropriate schedule base on their Math requirement status.  These are prepared based on the assumption that the students are full-time, continuously enrolled during the Fall and Spring semesters for 4 years, and have no transfer credit upon entering the Clayton State University.  The students must consult with their advisor in case these schedules do not fit their specific needs or circumstances.
