| This degree is most appropriate for those going
on to graduate school in Computer Science or engineering. Since it
requires more mathematics and laboratory based science, the BS
degree firmly grounds students in the scientific method and data
acquisition and analysis skills.
There is not a significant employement difference between students
who get B.S. and B.A. degrees, and virtually every job that is
available to one graduate is available to the other. If the
graduate were more interested in hardware, however, then he/she
would likely attempt to earn the B.S. degree, since it requires
physics and electronics.
The extra courses are two semesters of a laboratory science
(plus accompanying labs)
and MAT 141 (inferential statistics). The laboratory science can
be Biology (BIO 101 and 102), Chemistry (CHM 111 and 112) or
Physics (PHY 223 and 224).

(* You can take any one of these courses for your first introductory
course in Computer Science.)
Students who choose Physics as their science core will start their
science course in the Spring semester of their sophomore year, not
the fall semester.
