The Department of Computer and Information Sciences moved from the College of Arts & Sciences to the College of Engineering. The wording changes are to bring the catalog description into alignment with the new College.

Program Requirements:

(Show the new or revised curriculum as it should appear in the Course Catalog. If this is a revision, be sure to indicate the changes being made to the current curriculum and include a side-by-side comparison of the credit distribution before and after the proposed change.)
