Admission-to-Major: Computer Science

To apply for admission to the Bachelor of Science in Computer Science the student must have earned a grade of C- or better in entry-level courses C S 312 and C S 311/C S 311H within two attempts and earned a C- or better in entry-level course C S 314/C S 314H within only one attempt. Upon enrollment at The University of Texas at Austin, all remaining entry-level courses must be taken in residence. 

It is recommended that students complete all of the entry-level courses in residence at the University. However, students may request that transfer courses taken prior to enrollment at The University of Texas at Austin be approved as substitutes for the entry-level courses. The letter grades for approved transfer courses will be used in combination with entry-level courses taken in residence to calculate the grade point average required for admission to the major. Students must earn a grade point average of at least 2.00 in all courses taken in residence, and a C- or better in Computer Science 312, 311/311H, and 314/314H.

A student who is not admitted to the major may submit an appeal to the department through their advisor. 

Students should consult advisors in the College of Natural Sciences Department of Computer Science for information about admission to the major.
