 Degree Programs 

BSE Degrees | BAS Degrees | Dual Degree Program


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).

  • BSE in Computer Science (CSCI)

                     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.
  • BAS in Computer Science (ASCS)

Entered in Fall 2007 or after
Entered in Fall 2005-2006
Entered in Fall 2004

Entered in Fall 1997-2003

Entered in Fall 2007 or after
Entered in Fall 2004-2006
Entered Fall 1997-2003

  • BAS in Computer and Cognitive Science (ASCC)

Entered in Fall 2007 or after
Entered in Fall 2005-2006
Entered in Fall 2004
Entered Fall 1997-2003

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.
