Degree Requirements
Back to Informatics
Academic counseling for each student is provided by a faculty member or academic advisor before each semester enrollment. Although this is intended to provide effective guidance, students are responsible for planning their own programs, and for meeting the following degree requirements for graduation. Students are advised to read bulletin descriptions of all selected courses, paying careful attention to conditions concerning award of credit.
Students must successfully complete a minimum of 122 credit hours for the Bachelor of Science degree. Students may transfer no more than 60 credit hours toward a Bachelor of Science degree.
