Program Guidance Element	What You Need to Know
Considerations for Selecting Degree	Graduates of the BSCS program have a strong foundation in computer science for careers in the professional workforce, academic research, and entrepreneurship. Courses are provided in both live (face to face) and online formats, providing flexibility and exposure to modern communication and collaborative environments. ODU Computer Science majors are the problem solvers of the future. Leveraging a unique academic computational infrastructure, students learn emerging software development approaches through theory-centric and application-centric coursework. Students in this program are exposed to the broad theoretical and practical basis of computer science in lectures and laboratory experiences. Through laboratories, students are introduced to both the experimental and the design aspects of computer science. Students may choose their electives to obtain an emphasis in databases, networking, web programming, systems programming, game programming, and cybersecurity.The capstone course sequence is mentored by multi-disciplinary groups of faculty and industry experts. The educational focal points are community, communication, career, and student success.
Considerations When Selecting Courses	The Bachelor of Science in Computer Science is considered math intensive. Students should plan their course load accordingly. For students who do not meet the math requirement or GPA requirement, they will not be declared in the major until they do so. A minimum cumulative grade point average of 2.00 overall in the major. To graduate, students must complete 120 credit hours, which must include both a minimum of 30 credit hours overall and 12 credit hours in upper-level courses in the major program from Old Dominion University, passage of the Computer Science Exit Exam, completion of ENGL 110C, ENGL 211C or ENGL 221C or ENGL 231C, and the writing intensive (W) course in the major with a grade of C or better, and completion of a Senior Assessment. Additional hours may be required to meet the foreign language requirement. Create a schedule for all required courses, pay attention to prerequisites and when courses are offered, complete your first math and English courses in your first year Connect with an advisor at your community college and Old Dominion University within your first year via College Connect
Program Requirements Beyond Specific Courses	Students entering the Bachelor of Science program in Computer Science should meet the minimum university admission requirements. Computer science majors must earn a grade of C or better in all (non-elective) computer science courses required for the major and in all computer science prerequisite courses. Earn a grade of C (2.0) or better in all Math prerequisite courses. A minimum of 9 credits of upper-level (300/400) computer science elective courses must be completed in addition to the required courses.

What If I Have An Associate Degree Or Credit For Prior Learning?

Transfer Guidance Element	What You Need to Know
Associate Transfer Degree Completion	Completion of the general education certificate or a transfer-oriented associate degree program will guarantee completion of the University Core general education component of the ODU undergraduate curriculum but may not fulfill specific departmental requirements or prerequisites needed for the major. With an Associate of Science in Computer Science, students who enter into the BSCS Program at ODU start with their junior level course work, pending that the computer science prerequisite courses included in the associates degree are completed with a grade of C or better. For students completing an Associate of Science degree from VCCS, students may enter as a junior with general education requirements met as indicated in the pathway map.
Completion of Associate Degree Concurrent with High School	With an Associate of Science in Computer Science, students who enter into the BSCS Program at ODU start with their junior level course work, pending that the computer science prerequisite courses included in the associates degree are completed with a grade of C or better. For students completing an Associate of Science degree from VCCS, students may enter as a junior with general education requirements met as indicated in the pathway map.
Credit for Prior Learning	The Office of Prior Learning exists to aid ODU students in translating their professional work knowledge into academic credit. Through the use of various mechanisms, we are able to offer students the opportunity to have their prior learning assessed and applied for academic credit. This path may save the students both time and money as they work toward their degree. If you have military experience, please use our course by course equivalency tool to see how your experiences will transfer.
Did You Know That...	Completing your Associate transfer degree post-high school satisfies all lower division general education requirements and increases the chance of completing your bachelor's degree? Exceeding 3 years or 90 credits at your community college means you may have exhausted your financial aid at that college and have limited your future financial aid at: Old Dominion University
