Interdisciplinary This concentration will provide students maximum latitude in creating a course of study to suit their particular needs. Students choosing this option begin by consulting with the Chairman of the Communication Studies Department. The Chairman will help students choose appropriate courses, which may include courses from other departments. Students will then complete a form (available from the Communication Studies Department) in which they describe career goals and give a rationale for each of the courses selected. The form will be submitted to a committee made up the Communication Studies Department chairman, and a second faculty member. The committee may accept the proposal as submitted, make minor modifications before accepting it, or reject it. If accepted, the proposal becomes part of the student’s graduation requirements. In making its decision the committee will consider the following: 1. The proposed courses should prepare students well for stated career objectives; 2. The proposal should focus study to a limited area which can be covered in depth; 3. The academic rigor of the proposal should be at least equal to that expected of other Communication Studies concentrations; and 4. If, in the judgment of the committee, these goals can be met better through another major or concentration the proposal will be rejected. Concentration-Specific Requirements Obtaining a degree with this concentration requires a minimum of 42 credits, 24 of which must be from the Department of Communication Studies. A minimum of 27 credits must be upper-division. The interdisciplinary proposal must be submitted and approved no later than the first semester of the Junior year. No exceptions will be made. The following courses are required: COMM 368 Methods of Communication Research Credit(s): 3. COMM 473 Communication and Diversity Credit(s): 3. Computer Science, B.S. Program Learning Outcomes Upon completion of the Bachelor of Science in Computer Science, students will be able to: Analysis, modeling and problem solving: Students develop the logical, algorithmic, and mathematical capability to model and analyze real- world problems in different application domains, to devise problem- solving schemes accordingly, and to validate the correctness and effectiveness of these schemes (ULO 1). Foundational knowledge and practice of computing: Students employ the theoretical, operational, and implementational underpinnings of modern computing infrastructure to be able to effectively utilize the whole spectrum, including computer hardware, software, programming environments, operating systems, and networking environments (ULO 1). Programming and system integration: Students practice constructing and designing programs using mainstream programming languages, to assess fine software-engineering practices in order to implement problem-solving schemes as correct, efficient, and well-structured programs, and to integrate the programs into a computing infrastructure as functional information systems (ULO 3).
