Computer Science and Information Technology B.S. Software Engineering Concentration Freshman Pathway


Computer Science and Information Technology B.S. ~ Software Engineering Concentration ~ Freshman Pathway

The purpose of the degree pathway is to serve as a guide for planning one’s academic coursework required to complete a specific major semester by semester. The roadmap is subject to change and is NOT to be considered a replacement for advisement with an academic advisor. Students who choose majors that require a minor should take this into consideration when customizing their own academic plan.
