2016 Checksheet2016 Checksheet Area 5: Quantitative and Symbolic Reasoning is met by courses required for the major. Area 6: Creativity and Aesthetic Experience, 1 credit. While CS majors can meet Area 6 with a one-credit course, taking a three- credit course for this area may help meet the 30-hour non-technical elective requirement discussed in footnote 4. (1 or 3 cr) Area 7: Critical Issues in a Global Context, 3 credits (3 cr) 2. CS/Math double majors take the pair of courses Math 3034, Math 3124 in place of Math 2534, Math 3134. 3. Natural Science Elective/Lab. Computer Science majors must have a minimum of 12 hours of natural science. Of those 12 hours, 8 hours

must be in a sequence. This requirement can be satisfied by taking the required Chem 1035/45 and Phys 2305, and then one of (Chem 1036/46) or Phys 2306. (Chem 1036/46 may not be offered every fall semester.)

Students can also satisfy the sequence requirement by completing an eight hour sequence in Biology in addition to Chem 1035/45 and Phys

2305: to do so, students must complete one of the following sequences: (Bio 1005-6 & 1015-6), or (Bio 1105-6 & 1115-6), or (Bio 1105-6 & 1125-6).

4. Computer Science Non-technical Course Requirement. CS majors must complete 30 credits of non-technical courses. All courses are approved as non-technical courses except those in the departments of Biological Sciences, Chemistry, Geosciences, Physics,

Mathematics, and Statistics, and all departments in the College of Engineering, except for engineering courses appearing in CLE Area 7. Also excluded are courses listed as technical electives in footnote 7; a course cannot be both a technical and non-technical course.

5. Computer Science Theory Course. All CS majors must take one of the CS senior-level theory courses: 4104, 4114, 4124. 6. Computer Science 3000/4000 Elective. a. For a CS 3/4XXX elective, students can select any 3-credit CS 3000 or 4000-level course from CS 3000 to CS 4999 not used to satisfy

another requirement, including CS Independent Study (4974) and CS Undergraduate Research (4994), but excluding 4004 and 4014. b. For the CS 4XXX elective, students can select any 3-credit CS 4000-level course from CS 4000 to CS 4999 not used to satisfy another

requirement, including CS Independent Study (4974) and CS Undergraduate Research (4994), but excluding 4004 and 4014. 7. Computer Science Technical Elective. a. Any 3-credit CS 3/4/5000-level course (except 4004 and 4014) not otherwise used to fulfill a Computer Science requirement can be used as a technical elective, including both Independent Study (CS 4974) and Undergraduate Research (CS 4994). b. An approved 4000-level course in another discipline that has significant technical content relevant to the science or application of computer

technology can be used as a technical elective. i. Requests to have a non-CS course approved as a technical elective are made by submitting, prior to taking the course, the

request for substitution form available in the CS Advising Center. This includes non-CS Independent Study (4974) and Undergraduate Research (4994) courses.

ii. Below is a listing of non-CS courses that are approved as technical electives. Note: Many of these courses are restricted to majors other than CS in certain semesters, and virtually all have prerequisites that must be met to be eligible to take the course.

ACIS 4514, 4515, 4524 COMM 4374 GEOG/GEOS 4084 ACIS/BIT 4554, 4564 ECE 3504, 3534, 4510, 4524, 4550, 4560, 4564 GEOG 4314, 4324 BIT 4434, 4444, 4494, 4514, 4614 ECE 4984 (depending on topic) MATH 4175, 4454 8. Capstone Requirement. CS Majors must complete one senior capstone course. Students can choose from CS 4284, CS 4624, CS 4644, and

CS 4704, and other 4/5000-level CS courses that have received prior approval as fulfilling the capstone requirement. Additional Requirements and Notes: A. Grade of “C” or Better Required in Specific CS Courses: To qualify for a B.S. degree in Computer Science, a student must earn a “C” (2.0) or better in (CS 1114 or CS 1124), CS 2104, CS 2114, CS 2505, CS 2506 and CS 3114. B. Prerequisites: There are no hidden prerequisites for required courses on this checksheet. Students should always refer to the latest version of

the Undergraduate Course Catalog for the most up-to-date listing of prerequisites. To ensure timely completion of requirements, please see a Computer Science academic advisor before scheduling classes each semester.

2016 Checksheet2016 ChecksheetC. Progress Towards Degree (Policy 91): A Computer Science major must do the following in order to maintain satisfactory progress towards the

degree: 1. be registered in at least one 3-credit course required in the major during each on-campus semester of the regular academic year; 2. maintain a GPA of 2.0 or better in the major; 3. maintain an overall GPA of 2.3 or better; 4. not take any CS course required in the major more than twice, including attempts ending in course withdrawal; and 5. not repeat more than 3 CS courses required in the major, including attempts ending in course withdrawal. D. Total Hours and Minimum GPA Requirements: Each student must complete at least 123 semester credit hours with a minimum overall GPA of 2.00 and a minimum in-major GPA of 2.00. The in-major GPA is calculated using all classes with a CS designator except CS 1004, 4004, and 4014. E. Applicable Checksheet and Curriculum for Liberal Education Requirements: Graduation requirements are determined by the checksheet

in effect at the time of graduation (except for University CLE requirements as discussed below). Each checksheet is applicable for an entire calendar year, i.e., the May, Summer, and December completion dates of that year.

Curriculum for Liberal Education requirements are based upon the date of entry to Virginia Tech, which is assumed to be Fall Semester, four years prior to the date of graduation. Students whose date of entry into Virginia Tech differs from that assumed by the checksheet must determine which University CLE Requirements apply to them. Students with questions about this matter should refer to the University CLE guides at http://www.uaac.vt.edu/coreguides/index.html and consult with their advisor.

F. Foreign Language Requirement: Any student who did not complete two years of one foreign language in high school must earn six credits in one language in college-level courses. These credits do not count toward minimum graduation requirements.

G. CS Independent Study/Undergraduate Research Credits: Maximum credits, minimum GPA. No more than a total of 6 credits of CS Independent Study (4974) and/or CS Undergraduate Research (4994) may be used to fulfill Computer Science degree requirements. To take Independent Study (2974 or 4974), a minimum overall and in-major GPA of 2.5 is required. To take Undergraduate Research, a minimum overall GPA of 2.5 and an in-major GPA of 3.0 is required. Additionally, at least 6 credits of required CS 3000-level courses must have been completed before CS 4974 or CS 4994 may be taken.

30 hours non-technical 30 hours non-technical electiveselectives

4. Computer Science Non-technical Electives. CS majors must complete 30 credits of non-technical electives.

All courses are approved as non-technical electives except those in the departments of Biological Sciences, Chemistry, Geosciences, Physics, Mathematics, and Statistics, and all departments in the College of Engineering, except for engineering courses appearing in CLE Area 7. Also excluded are courses listed as technical electives in footnote 7; a course cannot be both a technical and non-technical elective.

Taking courses elsewhereTaking courses elsewhereTaking courses elsewhere

To take a course at another institution, students should make sure before they attempt a course that it will transfer by completing the following three steps:

1. Contact the college or university that they would like to attend to determine what courses will be offered.

2. Obtain and complete this form, which also is available from 212 Hancock Hall. This form should be completed at least 3 weeks before the beginning of the classes at the non-VT institution. I f the course to be transferred is a CS course, the Dean's Office may refer you to the CS Department, which will require you to supply a course syllabus (not just the catalog description of the course) before the transfer request is evaluated. Make sure the course will transfer as you think it will.

3. After the course has been completed, have a copy of your official transcript sent to the Virginia Tech Registrar's Office at: Office of the University Registrar 250 Student Services Building, Mail Code 0134 Virginia Tech Blacksburg, VA 24061

A student may not receive credit for course work taken at another college or university during any period in which the student has been placed on suspension by Virginia Tech for academic or disciplinary reasons.
