EWU’s Bachelor of Science in Computer Science Cyber Operations builds upon the cyber operations BS with a much deeper understanding of the mathematics and computer science needed for cybersecurity. In this more advanced program, students will develop a deeper understanding of cryptography and the reverse-engineering of programs, as well as the technical and non-technical aspects of cyber operations.
Computer Science Cyber Operations Major, Bachelor of Science (BS)
Exam Requirement: All Computer Science majors are required to pass the Advanced Programming Exam prior to taking courses for which it is a prerequisite. Passing the exam is required for graduation and no exam waivers will be granted for degree completion.
Note: no course may be used as both a requirement and an elective in a student's program.
Grade Requirements: As a computer science student, you are expected to maintain an overall university GPA ≥2.3. Each computer science course must be completed with a minimum grade ≥C+. All supporting courses required by the department must be completed with a minimum grade ≥C.
