Students without sufficient preparation will also need to take the following courses, increasing the total credit hours needed:

2

Designated courses with the appropriate content may be approved to satisfy one of the Broad Knowledge requirements plus LOPER 9 or Broad Knowledge plus LOPER 10. Courses may be approved to satisfy LOPER 9 or LOPER 10 alone. (Courses satisfying LOPER 9 or LOPER 10 alone must be 3 credit hours.) Students applying this option will need to take additional hours in other categories to meet the required General Education hours.

3

Students wishing to complete the Applied Mathematics or Computer Science Emphasis should take CYBR 101 for this option as it is a prerequisite for CYBR 150 and CYBR 180 which are required for these Emphases.

4

For these elective hours, students may take any 300+ level MATH or STAT course except MATH 330, MATH 430,MATH 465, MATH 470, or MATH 471

This document represents a sample 4-year plan for degree completion with this major. Actual course selection and sequence may vary and should be discussed individually with your academic advisor. Advisors can also help you plan other experiences to enrich your undergraduate education such as internships, education abroad, undergraduate research, learning communities, and service learning and community-based learning.
