Computer Science, BS, Two-Year Plan
Transfer plan for the Bachelor of Science in Computer Science
Sample Plan for New Students
This is a sample and not the only way to complete this plan. Number of credits are in parentheses. Some classes have prerequisites. The example assumes that you enter Seattle University with junior standing (90 credits), have earned a transferable associate degree, and have successfully completed an equivalent to the following:
- Have taken equivalent courses that satisfy University Core Module I courses (see University Core Requirements)
- Two quarters of Programming courses
- On quarter of Calculus-based Physics and two lab sciences courses (refer to SU course catalog)
Visit the Transfer Equivalency Guide for more information. Some courses not listed on the Transfer Equivalency Guide may still transfer to SU. For courses not found on this tool, compare course descriptions with SU’s Course Catalog to determine equivalent courses at your college/university.
