Upper-Division Requirements
At least 50% of the upper division credits required for the BA in Computer Science must be taken at FIU.
Students must complete one course from each of the three elective groups and must complete three additional elective courses from these elective groups. These electives will be drawn from acceptable electives in the B.S. in Computer Science program or required courses in the B.S in Computer Science program not used in the B.A. program, from electives in the B.A. in Information Technology program, and from electives in the B.S. in Computer Engineering program. KFSCIS maintains three lists of courses for three elective groups: Foundations, Systems, and Applications (B.A. In Computer Science - Knight Foundation School of Computing and Information Sciences (fiu.edu)).
Nine additional credits must be taken outside the Knight Foundation School of Computing and Information Sciences. These credits must normally be selected from the courses for a minor or certificate in another discipline. When there is no minor or certificate in the area of the student’s interest, a set of courses can be created with the approval of advisers from KFSCIS and the other area of interest.
