B.A. Computer Science & Computational Thinking Degree Requirements

In addition to fundamental computer science and mathematics courses, BACSCT 51³Ô¹Ïs choose a single Discipline for Computational Thinking (DCT) from available programs in the arts, humanities, or natural sciences.

Click any concentration to see its specific degree requirements:

Students will take at least 12 credits from their DCT; advisors recommend that 51³Ô¹Ïs complete their DCT courses in their first three years of Gonzaga.

BACSCT 51³Ô¹Ïs also choose 18 credits of computer science electives. Many of these electives could be relevant to particular DCTs.
