Computer Science and Information Technology

Graceland's major in Computer Science is modeled on the curriculum guidelines recommended by the Association of Computing Machinery (ACM) and by the Computer Science Accreditation Board (CSAB). The courses provide a solid grounding in Computer Science, Mathematics and Science, as well as giving you the opportunity to explore related areas. The major also includes several electives so you can carve out your own emphasis in the field. A capstone Senior Project will let you delve deeply into an area of your choice while synthesizing your knowledge of Computer Science.

    In addition to the general education requirements, students majoring in Computer Science and Information Technology must complete a concentration of 39 semester hours of CSIT courses and 6 semester hours of MATH as prescribed below:

    CSIT1100 Principles of Computing 3 s.h.
    CSIT1200 Data Structures 3 s.h.
    CSIT1300 Unix and Linux Systems 3 s.h.
    CSIT2010 Object-Oriented Programming 3 s.h.
    CSIT2100 Intermediate Programming 2 s.h.
    CSIT2200 Computer Organization and Hardware 3 s.h.
    CSIT3100 Operating Systems and Networks 3 s.h.
    CSIT3200 Systems Analysis and Design 3 s.h.
    CSIT3300 Database Concepts and SQL 3 s.h.
    Internship, project, or research 1 s.h.
    CSIT3700 Internship in Computing and Information Technology or
    CSIT4100 Systems Development Project or
    CSIT3000/4000 Individual Study
    Upper division CSIT electives 12 s.h.
    excluding CSIT3700, CSIT3000/4000, and CSIT4100
    A Computer Science and Information Technology major must also complete:
    MATH1350 Discrete Mathematics 3 s.h.
    MATH1380 Statistics or MATH1510 Calculus I 3 s.h.

    We recommend that students interested in graduate study or a career as a computer scientist also minor in mathematics (with two semesters of calculus and linear algebra) and take lab science courses in physics, chemistry, or biology.

    We recommend that students interested in a career in information technologies also minor in business administration and take statistics.

  • Computer Science and Information Technology Minor

    A minor in Computer Science and Information Technology requires 18 s.h. of CSIT courses that count toward the major, excluding internships.
