Computer Science + Economics (BS) Requirements

Liberal Studies Requirements

The distribution of LS domain requirements is based on the existing LS requirements for Computer Science and Economics [LASS] programs. We think that is justified because the CS+ECO BS degree program embraces the multidisciplinary spirit of the LS program in that students in the program will take many more STEM courses than a student majoring in a social science would and vice versa. The Senior Capstone requirement is fulfilled via either the computer science or economics capstone course. Administration of the Liberal Studies requirements is shared by the School of Computing and the Department of Economics; any changes to the requirements must be agreed to by both units.
