TRANSFER FROM CLC:
Computer Science
72-73 credits
Transfer Policies
Students transferring from non-baccalaureate institutions to Parkside may generally transfer up to 72 credits earned at non-baccalaureate institutions toward the 120 credits required for degree completion. UW-Parkside may accept additional credits toward the degree where appropriate. A minimum of 15 credits numbered 300 or above must be completed at Parkside.
Graduation Requirements | Computer Science
In addition to meeting the general university requirements of a UW-Parkside degree, students seeking to graduate with a major in computer science must satisfy the following: Completion of computer science major requirements. Attainment of a minimum UW-Parkside cumulative GPA of 2.50 in all courses eligible to meet the student’s computer science major requirements, including courses that meet the computer science major breadth requirement. The following requirements are in addition to the university general education requirements. Please use this guide in tandem with the Degree Requirements Transfer Guide.

Computer Science Breadth Requirement | 9-10 credits
Students must complete a package of 9 or more credits outside of computer science in a coherent collection of courses that are relevant to computer science and that meet the approval of the computer science faculty. Several such packages have been pre-approved, in areas such as mathematics, the sciences, art, business and economics. Pre-approved packages include:
MATH 222 and 301
MATH 222 and PHYS 202
CHEM 102/104 and either CHEM 206 or 215
Select any 3 courses from: ACCT 201, BUS 272, FIN 330, MGT 349, or MKT 350
ECON 320 or 321, and two additional 300-level ECON courses
GEOG 350, 460 and 465
CRMJ 316, 380 and BUS 272
ART 105, 377 and 477
Optionally, a student may submit an individually designed computer science breadth package of 9 or more credits for approval by the computer science faculty. See the department chair for details.
Requirements for the Computer Science/Mathematics Double Major | 90-91 credits
Students may satisfy graduation requirements for both computer science and mathematics by completing all required courses for computer science with 9 elective credits and PHYS 201, together with the following mathematics courses (which automatically satisfy the computer science breadth requirement):
Required Math Courses | 30 credits
