UMKC 2007-08 Catalog (CS-EE 1.0 2007-06-13)

Undergraduate Catalog :: School of Computing and Engineering :: Computer Science and Electrical Engineering

Four Year Program Sample

The following sample four-year program, designed for incoming freshmen, illustrates the careful planning necessary to complete the B.S.-C.S. degree. All students are urged to construct such a four-year plan, in consultation with a Computer Science degree adviser, as early as possible. While subsequent changes are likely, maintaining a four-year plan provides a coherent path toward the degree. Since the B.A.-C.S. degree requires a subset of courses as far as Computer Science and Mathematics are concerned, they are not shown separately.
