Computer Science Major, B.A.

专业介绍

The bachelor of arts degree with a major in computer science will prepare students for a career in either a traditional computing field or a field in which computing is a significant enabling technology. The B.A. degree is the preferred degree for those who wish more flexibility in their program of study.

Admission to the Major

The demand for concentrating in a computer science program has grown significantly at UNC–Chapel Hill over the past decade. In order to maintain the quality of educational experiences that Carolina students studying computer science deserve, we must restrict the number of students majoring in computer science relative to our faculty size’s ability to sustain the programs. 

Those wishing to concentrate in computer science must be admitted to a major program (B.A. or B.S.). Students are eligible to apply in the semester after completing or while currently enrolled in COMP 210. Students who are not admitted to the program can continue in the introductory course sequence with COMP 301 and COMP 211 in order to apply again or as part of completing the CS minor. Students who are admitted to the program have priority access to upper-division electives to complete their degree programs. Please see the department’s website for the most up-to-date information about admission to the major process.
