General Education Core

Students majoring in Computer Science will not take any Mathematics or Lab Science courses in the general core, as all of those requirements are fulfilled within their Specialty Areas (major).

Specialty Area I (100-200 Level Courses)

CSCI 161 - Introduction to Computer Science

CISS 220 - Hardware Maintenance and Troubleshooting Credit Hours: 3

This course introduces students to computer hardware terms, concepts, and new technology developments. It includes concepts related to troubleshooting, upgrading, repairing, and replacing computer hardware components. Upon completion, students should be able to document the repair process and work with nontechnical people. The course provides students with the foundations necessary to take the hardware portion of the CompTIA A+ Exam.

Prerequisites

CISS-101
CISS 221 - Operating System Maintenance and Troubleshooting Credit Hours: 3

This course introduces students to computer software terms, concepts, and new operating systems developments. It includes concepts related to installing, maintaining, and optimizing recent and current versions of the Windows Operating System. Upon completion, students should be able to troubleshoot computer OS problems and repair computers related to the Windows Operating System. The course provides students with the foundations necessary to take the software portion of the CompTIA A+ Exam.

Prerequisites

CISS-101
CSCI 261 - Introduction to Programming Credit Hours: 3

An introduction to scientific and mathematical programming with MATLAB. The primary emphasis is on the development and implementation of algorithms that solve practical scientific problems using MATLAB. Topics include vectors, matrices, selection statements, loop statements, data structures, and advanced functions. Computer-assisted instruction.

Prerequisites

MTHS-261
CSCI 271 - Programming Projects

MTHS 261 - Calculus I Credit Hours: 4

Definition and formulas, rate of change, derivatives, and application of functions. The study and application of indefinite and definite integrals.

Prerequisites

MTHS-161 with a minimum grade of C-, or equivalent course work.
MTHS 262 - Calculus II Credit Hours: 4

Applications of basic integration, advanced methods of integration, sequences and series, parametric equations and polar coordinates.

Prerequisites

MTHS-261 with a minimum grade of C-.
PHYS 261 - General Physics I Credit Hours: 4

A study of the fundamentals of the classical and relativistic motion of electrically-neutral, macroscopic objects, primarily entailing the concepts of energy, momentum, and force.  Requires co-requisite enrollment in PHYS-261L.

Prerequisites

MTHS-261.
PHYS 262 - General Physics II Credit Hours: 4

A study of the fundamentals of the classical motion of electrically-charged, macroscopic objects and the quantized motion of electrically-uncharged, microscopic particles - both entailing the concepts of energy, momentum, and force.  Requires co-requisite enrollment in PHYS-262L and PHYS-262S (Service Learning).

Prerequisites

PHYS-261 with grade of C- or better.

OR

Specialty Area II (300-400 Level Courses)

At least twelve (12) credit hrs of Specialty Area II courses must be taken at Lee University.

CSCI 353 - Numerical Analysis

CSCI 357 - Discrete Mathematics Credit Hours: 3

An introductory course in discrete mathematics stressing problem solving techniques using an algorithmic approach. This course will include recursion, counting principles, probability and algorithmic processes.  Graphs, trees, networks, and problems effectively modeled with these constructs will also be studied.

Prerequisites

MTHS-261 and MTHS-350 with a minimum grade of C- in each.
CSCI 361 - Data Structures and Algorithms

CSCI 371 - Advanced Programmming Projects

CSCI 461 - Analysis of Algorithms

CSCI 471 - Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning

MTHS 495 - Mathematics in Faith and Practice Credit Hours: 3

Senior Capstone course for majors.  Comparative study of related scientific, philosophical, and theological ideology within mathematics.  Through lecture, research papers, and guided class discussion, an attempt is made to demonstrate the necessity and possibility of harmonizing mathematics and biblical truth.  Students are encouraged to develop a philosophy of mathematics which integrates a statement of faith.

Prerequisites

THEO-231, and a minumum of 18 credit hours within the major including MTHS-350.

Subtotal Specialty Area: 49 Credit Hrs

General Electives or Minor: 18-23 Credit Hrs
