Bachelor of Science Program

The bachelor of science (BS) program in computer science provides general education, strength in mathematics and science, communication, and an in-depth program in computer science, including an 8-credit senior design project that closely models "industrial-strength" project development.

As part of a residency requirement, all computer science majors must take a minimum of 30 upper-level credits in computer science at GW. These credits include courses that students might take in an approved study abroad program. SEAS and non-SEAS students interested in pursuing the BS in computer science as a double major need to complete all the requirements below.

Detailed information concerning the program curriculum is available in the Bulletin, which is the definitive statement of degree requirements for students. Degree requirements in the current Bulletin apply to students matriculating in the current academic year. Bulletins applicable to students who matriculated in prior academic years are archived.
