Requirements:
The CS BA degree has been **hibernated** and no **students will be admitted**.*
B.A. Degree, Computational Geography Emphasis
Courses required for the major offered by the Department of Computer Science or by any other department must be taken for letter grades. Computer Science course prerequisite charts can be found here: Lower Division, Upper Division (Requirements), and Upper Division (Electives).
General Education
You can obtain a detailed list of GEs from the College of Letters and Science Undergraduate Office (Cheadle Hall, room 1117).
Lower Division
All students must achieve a grade of C or above in CS16, CS24, CS32, and CS40 to take any cour se for which any of these classes is prerequisite. The computer science classes open to non-m ajors are CS8, CS16, CS24, and CS40.
