Professional Area Courses
Depending on the courses you choose, a professional area in computer science will provide you with practical experience in systems analysis and management information systems. These courses will prepare you to interact knowledgeably with the technical specialists with whom you will develop your communications.
Technical and scientific communication majors who wish to take their professional area courses in computer science and management information systems must select 18 hours from the list in this section. Students who take hours in a professional area as a summer scholar may be able to count up to 6 of the 12 hours toward their specialty area.
