1 Bachelor of Science: Computer Science BACHELOR OF SCIENCE: COMPUTER SCIENCE Program Description The Bachelor of Science in Computer Science is accredited by the Computing Accreditation Commission of ABET, Please note that accreditation for the Bachelor of Arts in Computer Science (BACS), which we also offer, has not been requested. This degree program serves to give the student excellent preparation for careers in computer science, for graduate study, or for fields where CS is an important ingredient. Students receive a strong technical background in computer science, which is coupled with a broad, general education. The BS degree prepares for a career path where the student contributes to the continued development of technology infrastructure (operating systems, browsers, applications, softwares, networking, etc). A BS/MS Option for completing both a BS in CS and a MS in CS in five years is available, (see below) ( Furthermore, a minor in Computer Science is available as well. Contact info: (86) , or csee@umkc.edu. (csee@umkc.edu) The faculty of CSEE approved several changes effective in the fall of 202 for the degrees of BA in CS, the BS in CS, and the Bachelor of IT in reaction to feedback received from constituents and an analysis of assessment data. These changes center on a modernization of the curriculum and help to better prepare students for careers in computer science and information technology. Students who started their degree program prior to the fall 202 term have the option to complete the degree requirements in effect at the time they first started their program, switch to the requirements in effect when they graduate, or petition to combine aspects of both. Students should consult with an advisor for full details. Educational Objectives The undergraduate degrees in CS are designed so that graduates will attain employment and advance their careers in industry, government and academia. BS students will find employment in CS related fields, and BA students will find employment in fields where computing is an important ingredient. Some graduates will achieve appropriate certifications and/or pursue advanced study in computer science or other graduate fields. Graduates will be engaged in lifelong learning and thereby advance in their careers. Career Implications Computers and processors of all sizes and descriptions appear in every area of the public and private sectors. Consequently, employment prospects for computer science degree holders remain steady. Current projections have the demand for computer science graduates exceeding the supply for many years to come. The range of opportunities open to the new graduate in computer science is impressive. Computer science graduates are employed as members of technical staff, software engineers, programming or systems analysts, and scientific or application programmers by some of the nation's largest companies. These companies include internet based commerce and software based hi-tech industries, insurance, banks and financial institutions, computer and electronics manufacturers, the communications industry, the biomedical industry, the defense industry, and engineering firms. Admission Requirements High school students planning to apply to the computer science program are strongly urged to take a college preparatory program that emphasizes mathematics, science and communication skills. First-time college student applicants to the undergraduate program in computer science will be admitted if they obtain:. An ACT mathematics score of at least 25 and 2. An ACT composite score of at least 24 or a high school class rank in the upper 25 percent. First-time college student applicants who do not meet the above criteria but do meet UMKC general admission requirements may be admitted on probation or into the University College. Students without the recommended preparation must take prerequisite coursework in order to prepare for enrollment in courses required for the bachelor's degree. Students seeking re-admission must have been in good academic standing when last enrolled. Otherwise, re-admission requires a formal review by the undergraduate program committee. Transfer student ( information is available in the Undergraduate Academic Regulations section of the catalog.

2 2 Bachelor of Science: Computer Science University Requirements General Education The UMKC General Education Core ( is the university-wide curriculum that all undergraduate students will complete. The 30-credit hour core curriculum includes three course types designated as Anchor, Discourse and Focus and is detailed in the General Education ( general-education-requirements) section of the catalog. Constitution Course Every undergraduate student must take a course covering the United States Constitution and the Missouri State Constitution before graduation. Course options are included in the program requirements section below. RooWriter Assessment Candidates for all baccalaureate degrees must complete the online UMKC RooWriter Writing Assessment after they have passed Discourse 200 (or its equivalent) but before they have attained 90 credit hours. Incoming transfer students with more than 90 credit hours must complete the RooWriter by the end of their first semester of enrollment or within one semester after passing Discourse 200 (or its equivalent). Students who have not completed the RooWriter Writing Assessment within two semesters after passing Discourse 200 (or its equivalent) will be blocked from enrollment until they successfully complete the RooWriter. Additional information is available in the Undergraduate Academic Regulations and Information ( catalog.umkc.edu/undergraduate-academic-regulations-information/roowriter) section of the catalog. Exit Examinations Information on exit examinations and/or major field exams is available in the Undergraduate Academic Regulations and Information ( catalog.umkc.edu/undergraduate-academic-regulations-information/graduation/exitexams) section of the catalog. Student Learning Outcomes Students graduating from this program will: Be able to apply knowledge of discrete structures and computer organization appropriate to the discipline Be able to design, implement, and evaluate a computer-based system, process, component, or program to meet desired needs Be able to communicate effectively with a range of audiences Program Requirements Curriculum requirements for both of the Computer Science degrees are categorized into several areas totaling at least 20 hours of study.
