TrailRunr's Double Major in CS and Math

This document covers only the area of study for both majors. There are numerous other resources for information on meeting general education requirements. Keep in mind that the space you would have used for free electives is being used for the second area of study.

This degree plan is designed so that you get both areas of study with the minimum amount of time and money spent.

Courses marked * = shared with both areas of study (9 credits + the capstone). You can get a waiver of the 9 credit requirement if you earn too many credits in the three shared courses as long as you don't need the excess credit in both areas of study.

Computer Science

Requirements:

Intro to CS - DSST Computing and Information Technology (COS-101)

Data Structures - take at a community college

Calc 1 - SL General Calculus 1 (credit via ACE's ACP program to get 4 credits) *

Calc 2 - SL General Calculus 2 (credit via ACE's ACP program to get 4 credits) *

Linear algebra / discrete math - Take linear algebra at a 4 year school such as APU *l

Electives - 21 credits (at least 15 credits in the entire AOS need to be UL):
