Applied Computer Science is available as a field of concentration for the degree of Bachelor of Science in Computer Science (B.S.C.S.) in the Creighton College of Arts and Sciences or in University College. Consistent with the goals of a liberal education at Creighton, specified degree requirements must be met simultaneously in a student's major area of concentration, his or her supporting area of concentration, and in elective courses.

A. Requirements for B.S.C.S. with concentration in Applied Computer Science

A student studying for a B.S. degree needs to complete a total of 36 semester hours in CSC (computer science) courses. Following the five core courses, one of two upper-level sequences can be completed, either Software Engineering or Electronic Commerce. (NOTE: a description of all computer science courses currently available is contained in the Appendix.)

C. CORE CURRICULUM for a B.S. Degree

To promote a well-rounded liberal education, all students studying for a B.S. degree at Creighton must take a total of 61-64 elective hours distributed over five different divisions. These required electives, constituting the Core Curriculum, can be chosen from course offerings available in the areas of Categories A, B, C, D, and E. Required hours in the five divisions are listed below:

Category A	18
Category B	18
Category C	7
Category D	6
Category E	12-15
Total Core Curriculum Hours:	61-64

See the Undergraduate Issue of the Creighton University Bulletin for more details.

D. Additional Course Requirements for a B.S. Degree

1. All entering freshmen at Creighton are required to take a one hour orientation course entitled Freshman Seminars.

2. All students studying for B.S. degrees at Creighton must take four approved Certified Writing courses. These courses may "double count" toward Core or major requirements. See the Undergraduate Issue of the Creighton University Bulletin for more details.

3. Courses not taken to fulfill any of the preceding requirements may be chosen as electives to complete the 128 semester hours required for a Bachelor of Science degree. These courses should be chosen to complete a student's goal or interests. A total of 48 hours or more should be in 300-level or above.
