Bachelor of Arts in Computer & Information Science (BA CIS)
This curriculum applies to students who entered OSU as freshmen in Summer '07 or later. If you entered OSU before Summer '07, you must follow the older curriculum. If you entered OSU as a transfer student in Summer '07 or later, please consult with one of the advisors in the Advising Office. The main changes in this newer curriculum compared with the older one are revisions in the GEC requirements (as specified by the new GEC requirements applicable to all students in the Arts and Science College), and the requirement of CSE 601 as a required course. There are also some changes in the the technical electives. Note also that the minimum total number of hours for the degree in this curriculum is 181 hours (compared to 191 in the previous curriculum).
The BA CIS program (through the College of Arts and Science) offers students a broad, liberal education, along with specialized study in computer and information science. The program permits students to combine the study of computer science with the study of some related field of potential computer application.
