Physics/Computer Science Major Requirements for the Bachelor of Science
This program is intended for students with dual interests in physics and computer science who wish to complete the essential courses for both majors within their normal four year career. See the Physics and Astronomy Department section, for course requirements.
Bachelor of Science in Computer Engineering and Computer Science
See the listing under Computer Engineering.
Minor in Computer Science
The computer science minor introduces the concepts, tools and techniques that are involved in the programming of computers. The minor prepares students to achieve mastery in several current programming languages. In addition, the student will learn about creating effective user interfaces and how to build applications that are available on the World Wide Web.

Accelerated Dual Degree Programs: Bachelor of Science in Computer Engineering and Computer Science/Master of Science in Computer Engineering; Bachelor of Science in Computer Engineering and Computer Science/Master of Science in Computer Science
Two accelerated dual degrees are offered: B.S., Computer Engineering and Computer Science/M.S., Computer Engineering and B.S., Computer Engineering and Computer Science/M.S., Computer Science.
The accelerated dual degree program offers qualified students the opportunity to simultaneously complete the requirements for the B.S. and M.S. degrees in five years. Students are eligible for the accelerated dual degree program upon completing 96 or more units toward their B.S. with a GPA of 3.2 or higher. Qualified students who are interested should see their advisor in their junior year to begin planning for the inclusion of graduate courses during their senior year. Students should apply to the graduate program in the fall of their senior year. Eligible students will be automatically accepted to the M.S. program without needing to take the GRE. All requirements for both the B.S. and M.S. degrees must be met; however, up to nine units of course work will be counted toward satisfying the unit requirements of both degrees for the B.S., Computer Engineering and Computer Science/M.S., Computer Engineering accelerated dual degree program. Up to nine units of course work will be counted toward satisfying the unit requirements for the B.S., Computer Engineering and Computer Science/M.S., Computer Science accelerated dual degree program. Application information may be obtained in the Viterbi School of Engineering Office of Admissions and Student Affairs. Students should see their departmental advisors for assistance with course selection.
