UNO’s computer science program is accredited by the Computing Accreditation Commission of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (CAC/ABET), 415 North Charles Street, Baltimore, MD 21201 - telephone: (410) 347-7700. To earn a Bachelor of Science Degree in Computer Science, a student must earn 120 credit hours as described below, and must satisfy all of the requirements of the University and the College of Sciences. In addition, the following stipulations must be satisfied:

1. Before enrolling in a computer science course, a student must have earned a grade of C or better in all computer science courses which are a prerequisite for it. A grade of C or better must be earned in all science courses, including mathematics and computer science, used to satisfy degree requirements.
2. Computer science electives must be chosen from computer science courses numbered 3000 or above.
3. Mathematics electives, unless otherwise specified, must have a prerequisite of at least MATH 2124  or its equivalent.
4. The science sequence must be one of: BIOS 1073 , BIOS 1071 , BIOS 1083 , and BIOS 1081 ; or BIOS 1073 , BIOS 1071 , and BIOS 2014 ; or BIOS 1083 , BIOS 1081 , and BIOS 2114 ; or CHEM 1017 , CHEM 1018 , CHEM 1007  and CHEM 1008 ; or EES 1000 , EES 1001 , EES 2004 , and EES 2005 ; or PHYS 1061 , PHYS 1063 , PHYS 1062 , PHYS 1065 . (In some cases, comparable courses intended for respective majors may also be acceptable.) Science electives must be in biology, chemistry, earth and environmental sciences, or physics, and must include at least three hours in a science other than that of the science sequence. The University requires each student to complete three hours of biology; this requirement may be met through the science sequence, science electives, or free electives.
5. Foreign language electives must include a six-hour sequence.
6. CSCI 4000  (Senior Comprehensive Examinations) must be passed by the student by the final semester of studies.

Entering freshmen not qualifying for MATH 1126  must take MATH 1125 ; this course may be counted toward degree credit.
