This is a possible schedule. There are many ways to configure a plan-of-study.
Students should work closely with their advisor to select their classes.
To remain in good standing and graduate with a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science, students must maintain an overall GPA of 2.5 and a USU GPA of 2.5, as well as a GPA of 2.5 in the preprofessional program.
For all Computer Science majors in the professional program the following academic regulations apply, in addition to university regulations:
- For Computer Science, all courses meeting a major requirement, regardless of subject, must have a grade of C- or better.
- The P/D+, D, F grading option may not be used in any class fulfilling a Computer Science major requirement regardless of subject.
- Once students are admitted to the professional program, they must maintain a minimum overall GPA of 2.5. The GPA will be computed using all USU credits, as well as transfer credits (if those transfer credits are applied to any USU requirements, including major requirements).
