Course Selection Guide

Computer Science Program


This document is an unofficial course selection guide for the Computer Science program. The course selection guide is meant to
serve as a roadmap, giving you a destination and a generic path for completing your degree. During your studies, you will need to
run a degree audit report in the Student Portal that will give you a screenshot of your current academic status and will help you plan
your degree ahead. Keep in mind that the following roadmap is a recommended pathway and not a mandatory order in which you
should take your courses.

Associate of Science Degree Requirements

The Associate of Science degree in Computer Science requires:

o The completion of at least 60 semester approved credits


o Earn a cumulative grade point average (CGPA) of 2.00 in all coursework attempted at UoPeople
o Earn an overall grade point average (CGPA) of 2.00 in all courses taken in the major area of study
o Complete the five (5) required proctored exams
o Complete all the requirements for the Associate degree in no more than 25 terms of active enrollment excluding periods of
separation from the university.

Bachelor of Science Degree Requirements

The Bachelor of Science degree in Computer Science requires:

o The completion of at least 120 semester approved credits


o Earn a cumulative grade point average (CGPA) of 2.00 in all coursework attempted at UoPeople
o Earn an overall grade point average (CGPA) of 2.00 in all courses taken in the major area of study
o Complete the eleven (11) required proctored exams
o Complete all the requirements for the Bachelor’s degree in no more than 50 terms of active enrollment excluding periods of
separation from the university.

The Associate of Science degree with the Bachelor of Science degree level in Computer Science program has many goals in common.
This reflects the fact that students at the Associate’s level complete the same Year 1 and Year 2 program requirements with students
at the Bachelor’s level. However, because students at the Bachelor’s level are expected to achieve these goals at a higher
developmental level, they complete additional requirements in the third and fourth year of the program.

The Computer Science program is built on a strong liberal arts foundation with an appropriate balance maintained among the three
curricular components: The Major, General Education requirements, and Electives. The Associate’s degree program enables
students to explore the field from a range of perspectives, gaining a fundamental understanding of the mathematical and scientific
principles underlying computing and information technology and their application in the field. The Bachelor degree program
provides students with an in-depth knowledge and analytical skills associated with the design, development, testing, and
documentation of a range of operating systems; database management; and programming languages.

Below is a recommended course selection plan for completing courses in the Computer Science Program. Please note there is no
particular order for selecting courses in the Computer Science Program as long as you meet prerequisite requirements. Therefore, if
you decide to follow a different plan for completing your degree program, that is completely fine.
