Page D46 Degree Requirements Students in the IUG program must satisfy the degree requirements for both Bachelor of Science and Master of Science degrees. The total course load is reduced due to the maximum of 12 credits that can count towards both degrees. The minimum of 6 credits double-counted must be at the 500 level. Thesis credits may not be double counted. B.S. Degree Portion: TOTAL B.S. REQUIREMENTS: 120 credits (12 double-counted with the M.S. Requirements) General Education: 45 credits (13 of these are included in the REQUIREMENTS FOR MAJOR) Electives: 1 credit Requirements for the Major: 87 credits Prescribed Courses: 63 credits Additional Courses: 15 credits MATH 414(3) or STAT 301 GQ(3) Select 12 credits from the following (Double-counted with M.S. Requirements): COMP 505(3), COMP 511(3), COMP 512(3), COMP 519(3), 400-500 level courses with the program’s approval Supporting Courses and Related Areas: 9 credits M.S. Degree Portion: TOTAL M.S. REQUIREMENTS: 30 credits (12 double-counted with B.S. Requirements) B. List of Courses to be Added, Modified or Dropped in the Proposed Curriculum MA SC 505: changed to COMP 505 with updated title COMP 511: change in prerequisites (remove MA SC 505) COMP 520: change in prerequisites (remove COMP 511 and add CMPSC 463) D. Justification for Changes 42
Page D47 We are proposing an Integrated Undergraduate Graduate Program in Computer Science, which necessitates a change to the Computer Science M.S. Program Bulletin to include the IUG program. Because we are updating the Bulletin to include the IUG program, we decided this was a good time to include course changes we have had in progress. The addition of the IUG program has not necessitated the following course changes. All undergraduate courses with the "MA SC" prefix were eliminated after the UCA process. MA SC 505 is currently the only course with the "MA SC" prefix. Thus, it is appropriate now to move this course under the COMP prefix of this program. The title change is made to more accurately reflect the content of the course. When COMP 511 was created as a required, the pool of students entering the program had very varied backgrounds. The objective of having MA SC 505 as a prerequisite, in addition to CMPSC 463 (under a different number and prefix at that time), was to provide incoming students with the necessary background to be successful in COMP 511. For the past several years, the pool of incoming students has become more homogenized in their background. Thus, the need for having MA SC 505 as a prerequisite has become unnecessary. COMP 520 has a current prerequisite of COMP 511. This was established to ensure uniform prior knowledge in the students coming from various backgrounds. Due to the recent trend of incoming students having more homogeneous backgrounds, however, the prerequisite of COMP 511 has not been strictly enforced and has frequently been substituted with any undergraduate courses in the design and analysis of algorithms. To make this more explicit to students, we propose to change the prerequisite from COMP 511 to CMPSC 463. E. Written Evidence of Consultation Departments affected by the change include the Computer Science programs at University Park and Behrend. In addition, we consulted with the Information Systems program at Penn State Harrisburg.
