Total Credits: 107‐109. A total of 120 credits is required for the degree, of which 42 must be upper division. There are 11‐13
additional credits in any discipline that must be earned at the 100 level or higher.
*The total natural science requirement of each student includes 16 credits (7 credits from the General Education natural science
requirement and 9 credits from the list of natural science courses from the Major Program Requirements). These two requirements
may be met by any combination of applicable courses that combine to 16 credits. The total must include two laboratory courses
and at least 6 credits in each of two disciplines.
**Students completing the Bachelor of Science need an additional 12 credits in Computer Science, Mathematics (excluding MATH
A420 and MATH A495), or Statistics. Nine of these credits must be in Computer Science. A maximum of 3 credits of CS A395 may be
applied to degree requirements.
