Admission to the major in the Department of Computer Science is limited. See “Limited Admissions and Limited Retention Requirements” in this catalog.
The Department of Computer Science offers a program leading to the B.S. degree with a major in computer science. A student must choose an emphasis in general computer science, applied computer science, or theoretical computer science. Students planning to pursue graduate work at an institution other than NIU should choose the emphasis in theoretical computer science or include MATH 229, MATH 230, MATH 232, MATH 240, and STAT 350 in their program of study.
Students who intend to major or minor in computer science are requested to contact the departmental office during the early weeks of their first semester on campus to obtain additional information on admission to the computer science major or minor.
The department offers a course (CSCI 205) which partially fulfills the university’s sciences requirement in the general education program and courses which count toward the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences’ requirements for the B.S. degree.
Department Regulations
Computer science majors are not permitted to count courses in mathematical sciences (MATH/STAT) toward fulfilling general education area requirements. Also, students may not audit computer science courses without obtaining prior permission from the Department of Computer Science.
