Systems/Scientific Applications

---

The Systems/Scientific Applications Option requires 50 hours including 47 hours of computer science courses and 3 hours of STAT 301. In addition, this option requires additional mathematics courses and several science courses designated for science or engineering majors.

Please use iCAP within TopNet to verify your remaining degree requirements for the program of your catalog year.

Starting from Fall 2012, students who wish to declare a 629 computer science major are initially designated as 629P - Computer Science (Prep). In order to be granted full admission into the 629 computer science major, a student must satisfy the following requirements:

• Completion of CS 180, CS 221, and CS 339 with grades of C or better.
• Submit a Change of Major form to change from 629P to a 629 major.

Current Catalog: 50 Hours Requirements for System/Scientific Option:

1. All CS courses counting towards the CS program major must be completed with a C or better.
