Degrees & Programs
B.S. in Computer Science
The Bachelor of Science degree in computer science is for those students who want to combine mathematics and computer science. In addition to the general institutional requirements, the major completes 60 semester hours in major courses which include 30 hours in computer science and 18 hours in mathematics courses, including Calculus 1, Calculus II, and Calculus III and 12 hours in electives. The Bachelor of Science degree in computer science with business emphasis is for those students who want to combine computer science and business. In addition to the general institutional requirements, the major completes 60 semester hours in major courses, which include 31 hours in computer science courses and 15 hours in business courses. The Bachelor of Applied Science degree is a cooperative program between Albany State University and Albany Technical College that allows qualified students to earn 99-quarter hours at Albany Technical College and then transfer to Albany State University to complete the requirements for the Bachelor of Applied Science degree with emphasis in Computer Information Systems. While at Albany Technical College students will complete the Computer Information System Program or equivalent courses. Upon admission to Albany State University students will be granted 42 semester hours of credit for technical courses. Additionally, students may transfer up to 60 semester hours of credit to Albany State to satisfy Areas A, B, C, D, and E of the Core Curriculum.
All majors must complete a minimum of 125 semester hours. All majors and minors in the department must achieve a grade of ‘C’ or better in all mathematics, science, and computer science and business courses. A cumulative grade point average of at least 2.25 is required for graduation. The Graduate Record Examination (GRE-Subject) is also required for graduation.
A.S. Pathway to Engineering
The Regents’ Engineering Pathway (RTP) program was established in 1986 to expand the availability of engineering education opportunities for Georgians. The RTP program is a cooperative program between [Engineering Program] and participating RTP Partner institutions within the University System of Georgia. Albany State University is one of the RTP institutions in Georgia.
Under this program, students complete two or more years to take all of the mathematics and science and several engineering courses as required by ASU and then transfer to Georgia Institute of Technology, Georgia Southern University, Kennesaw State University, Mercer University or the University of Georgia to complete a B.S. degree in Engineering.
Mission Statement
To encourage and accommodate students who desire to study engineering, but who for
various reasons may prefer to attend another college before coming to an RTP Engineering
institution, this program offers the opportunity to transfer to an RTP Engineering
institution through the Regents’ Engineering Pathway. RTP students enjoy many of the
advantages of [engineering program] students: they have equal access to engineering
majors at [engineering program], they can participate in the co-op program, and they
are invited to the RTP Engineering institution campus once a year for campus tours,
information sessions, and meetings with advisors in their engineering majors.
