Courses of Study

Millsaps offers a bachelors degree in computer science in two concentrations: computer science and com puter information systems.
This section lists the degree requirement for each concentration. While both concentrations share the same core of computer science courses, they allow students to pursue different career paths.

The requirements listed are only the minimum required to attain a degree, leaving students with enough freedom to take a number of advanced courses on an elective basis.

The Millsaps college catalog lists general academic information with complete degree requirements, as well as a full list of departmental courses. Further information on requirements for the senior year and the honors program can be found in the web page on Research.

A C grade or better is required in all computer science courses.

This concentration prepares students to pursue a career in the software industry or to attend graduate school.

Computer Science Concentration

It is also ideal for students who are interested in more technically-oriented jobs in the general field of information technology.

Math 2310: Intro to Advanced Mathematics
    (prerequisite: Calculus II)
CS 1010: Computer Science I
CS 1020: Computer Science II
CS 2100: Computer Organization and Machine Programming
CS 2300: Data Structures and Algorithms
CS 4901: Senior Seminar 1
CS 4911: Senior Seminar 2
At least one of the following:

  1. CS 3110: Computer Architecture
  2. CS 3300: Theory and Design of Operating Systems


At least 4 additional courses from the following
(at least 2 of these 4 must be computer science courses):

  1. Any computer course numbered above 3000
  2. Any mathematics course numbered above 3000
  3. An approved digital electronics course

Computer Information Systems Concentration

This concentration is tailored to prepare students for a wide range of careers in the general field of information technology.

The skills developed in this course of study will be useful in any corporate environment where there is a need for computer networks, databases and in formation systems in general.

Furthermore, students may use several courses from the Else School of Management to fulfill requirements toward this concentration. This will give them the basic skills needed to eventually pursue managerial/administrative positions in information technology.

Math 1150 or an approved statistics class
CS 1010: Computer Science I
CS 1020: Computer Science II

CS 2300: Data Structures and Algorithms
CS 3210: Systems Analysis and Design
CS 4901: Senior Seminar 1
CS 4911: Senior Seminar 2
At least 2 additional computer science courses,
            numbered above 3000
Three courses selected from the follo wing:
    a) any computer science course numbered above 3000
    b) any mathematics course numbered above 3000
    c) Acct 2000
    d) Mgmt 3000
    e) Qnt Mgmt 3000
