Jerry Esmay, Chairman

The growing utility of computers in research and education, as well as the increased impact of computers on our modern society, strongly implies that a knowledge of computers and their capabilities should be a part of the basic education of all students. The courses listed below are designed to provide the student with this knowledge and to prepare the student for a career in a field in which there is a growing need for trained personnel. The objective of the undergraduate curriculum in computer science is to teach theory and to develop professionally competent, broadly educated computer scientists who wish to pursue professional careers or graduate studies.

The B.S. program is accredited by the Computing Accreditation Commission (CAC) of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology, Inc. (ABET), a specialized accrediting body; its curriculum, therefore, is similar to those of other recognized computer science programs. For more information access www homepage: http://www.cs.umt.edu or email the chairman at esmay@cs.umt.edu.

High School Preparation: In addition to general University admission requirements, pre college preparation should include as many computer science courses as possible, and four years of high school mathematics, to include algebra, trigonometry and pre-calculus. Also recommended are physics and chemistry.

Admission Requirements

Admission to computer science courses varies according to course level and other departmental standards. However, students must have completed all prerequisite courses with a grade of at least a "C".

Lower Division Courses
Most 100 and 200 level courses (notable exceptions are CS 131, 132, 221, 231 and 232) are open on a first-come, first-served basis to all students who have the prerequisites. First preference for enrollment in CS 131, 132, 221, 231, and 232 is given to students who have declared computer science as their major or minor. Students simply taking computer science courses to satisfy a general education symbolic system sequence should normally take CS 101, 201, 202, 203, 204, 205, 206 and/or 207 instead of CS 131 and/or 132 as these latter two courses are normally reserved for students contemplating or intending to major or minor in computer science.

Upper Division Courses
Admission to 300 level or above courses requires successful completion of the prerequisites.

Major Minor Status
Completed change of major forms along with college transcripts must be turned into the department when declaring computer science as a major or minor.

Special Degree Requirements

Refer to graduation requirements listed previously in the catalog. See index.

Bachelor of Science degree with a major in Computer Science

A B.S. degree in computer science requires completion of the following requirements with at least a "C" in each course:

Upper-division Writing Expectation. The Upper-division Writing Expectation must be met by successfully completing an upper-division writing course selected in consultation with an advisor from the approved list in the Academic Policies and Procedures section of this catalog. CS 415E will satisfy this requirement. See index.

Three of the above 17 credits must be independent study credits in either the selected scientific discipline or computer science, arranged in joint consultation with a CS faculty and a faculty member from the scientific discipline.

Software Systems Option
A student choosing this option must complete CS 442 and six credits of CS electives selected from courses numbered 300 and above.

Bachelor of Science degree with a combined major in Computer Science-Mathematical Sciences

The purpose for the combined program is to provide a thorough background in both allied disciplines and to inculcate a deeper understanding of their goals and methods. A student must complete 60 credits in the two disciplines: 30 of these credits in computer science courses and 30 of these credits in mathematical sciences courses. A minimum grade of "C" is required in all courses which follow:

The computer science requirements are: 131-132, 231-232, 331, 332, 335, and nine credits of CS electives selected from courses numbered 300 and above.

The mathematical sciences requirements are: 152-153, 221, 251, 305 (or 225), and twelve credits of MATH electives selected from courses numbered above 305.

The combined nine additional credits of computer science electives and twelve additional credits of mathematical sciences electives must include at least three 3- or 4-credit courses numbered 400 or above, with at least one chosen from each department (not including MATH 406, 444, 445, and CS 487).

Other requirements are: PHYS 221N-222N, FOR 220, and either COMM 111A or COMM 242.
Each student plans a program in consultation with a computer science and a mathematical sciences advisor. Students planning to attend graduate school in computer science or the mathematical sciences should consult with their respective advisors.
