The Computer and Information Science
Department now
offers a new accredited
BSE Degree in Computer Science
and requires a total
of 40 course units (cu).
Entered in Fall 2007 or after
Entered in Fall 2006
The
BSE Degree in Computer Science and Engineering gives students
a rigorous training in computer science and requires a total of
40 course units (cu).
The BSE Degree in Digital Media Design
provides students with a rigorous background in computer science
as well as with foundation course work in fine arts and communications
theory. The major requires 40 course units (cu).
The BAS Degrees require students to combine
knowledge of technology with an understanding of human and social
values. They are designed for students who do not plan to work as
professional engineers, and want a customized education which combines
the liberal arts and technology in a manner unique to their career
goals.

In all programs, the
opportunity exists for studying a diversity of subjects which
satisfy personal desires, developing a broad foundation for adapting
to new societal demands, and maintaining flexibility for moving
into new areas of interest if a change in personal career direction
develops. Dual Degree Programs (for example, combining
Computer Science with a different Degree from another School at
Penn) are also available and are administered through the SEAS
Office of Academic Programs (111 Towne Building).
- Dual Degree Program in Computer and Cognitive Science
In this Program, the students may earn two degrees: a Bachelor
of Arts (BA) in Psychology, Philosophy, Mathematics, Biological
Basis of Behaviour or Linguistics from the College of Arts
and Sciences, and either a Bachelor of Applied Science (BAS)
in Computer and Cognitive Science or a Bachelor of Science
in Engineering (BSE) in Computer Science and Engineering
from the School of Engineering and Applied Science.
The Dual Degree Program in Computer and Cognitive Science
is guided by the belief that a science of mental information
processing requires collaborative research in several disciplines.
Requirements for the program are guided by the degree sought
(BAS or BSE), and include 12-16 cu in Linguistics, Mathematics,
Philosophy or Psychology and 4 cu in a Foreign Language.
Since the College and Engineering degree requirements overlap
to some extent, students typically take 40 cu total for
the dual degree with BAS and 46 cu total for the option
with BSE.
