Computer Science (B.A., B.S.)
|
|
|
BACHELOR OF ARTS (B.A.)
For a Computer Science course to be counted toward the major, a grade of “C” or higher is required.
Departmental Requirements (19 hours)
Nondepartmental Requirements (7 hours)
Non-Departmental requirements may also be applied toward a minor or second major.
Departmental Electives (24 hours) B.A.-no specialization
Select upper-division CSC electives from the following:
Artificial Intelligence Specialization, B.A.
- Core B.A. 26 cr hrs
- Artificial Intelligence courses 15 cr hrs
- Artificial Intelligence non-departmental requirements 19 cr hrs
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is one of the most vital and fast-growing fields within Computer Science, with impact in every stratum of society. As such, providing expanded programs in AI will help prepare current and future USD students to meet workforce needs in the state, region, and beyond. AI specialization involves courses, such as high-performance computing, distributed systems, machine learning, and data mining. The aforementioned courses are considered to be primer for several different application domains and/or programs, such as biology, medical science and healthcare, physics, chemistry, and business data analytics, just to name a few
Non-Departmental Requirements for Artificial Intelligence, B.A. Specialization (Select 19 hours)
BACHELOR OF SCIENCE (B.S.)

Four-Year Program Guides and Costs
USD encourages students to take 15 credits per semester or 30 credits within the year in order to graduate in 4 years. To help students complete their academic degree program in four years, we provide a sample academic plan. Please work with your academic advisor to confirm your plan.
State Authorization - It Matters Where You Live
If your learning placement course (internship, externship, clinical, rotation, practicum, independent study, study away, etc.) or your online course will be taken outside South Dakota, please reference USD’s State Authorization webpage.
