The Bachelor of Science in Computer Science requires 120 total credits.
School of Computing Policies:
- All courses must be completed with a grade of C or better unless noted otherwise.
- Once enrolled at UNF, all remaining prerequisite courses and major/minor requirements must be completed at UNF.
- 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 major on the first attempt due to earning a grade of D, F, W, WP, or WF will be granted one chance to repeat the course.
- Students who do not successfully complete the aforementioned course on the second attempt will be blocked from registering for courses offered by the School of Computing in future semesters.
- This policy applies whether or not the student has declared a major in a School of Computing program.
- Exit Requirements
- Proficiency in a high-level programming language.
- Proficiency in oral communication. To demonstrate satisfactory oral communication skills, students must deliver up to two presentations in an upper-level course offered by the School of Computing. If the first presentation is satisfactory, the second presentation will be waived.
