Computer Science (BS)

ACADEMIC MAP (Effective Summer 2024 and after)

**Please Note: Face-to-face/in-person instruction of this program is available ONLY at the main campus in Tallahassee, FL. However, it is available via Online/Distance Learning to all FSU students via the Panama City, FL campus.*

This map is a term-by-term sample course schedule. The milestones listed to the right of each term are designed to keep you on course to graduate in four years. The Sample Schedule serves as a general guideline to help you build a full schedule each term. The General Education and Elective courses must be selected to satisfy all area and multicultural requirements unless your program meets these requirements with major courses. Milestones are courses and special requirements necessary for timely progress to complete a major. Missing milestones will result in one of two types of map registration stops. The first level (Degree Map Off-track) is placed following grade posting if the student has missed a milestone (course and/or GPA) for the first time in the major. If a student is in non-compliance with milestones for two (2) consecutive semesters (excluding summers), a Major Change Required stop is placed on the student's registration.

The Computer Science Department degree program provides a broad background in programming, theoretical computer science, hardware, mathematics, physics, and science. The Computer Science (BS) major has a retention policy. Students must achieve and then maintain at least a 2.50 GPA in all college work attempted. Students starting math at a level below calculus will graduate with more than the minimum 120 hours needed for the degree but will not be considered "off-course". Students may want to consider full-time enrollment in summers to ease the academic pressures during the fall and spring terms.
