Degree Requirements

Required Practical Experience

All students majoring in Computer Science are required to acquire three hundred hours of practical experience while enrolled at UMHB. This requirement must be fulfilled before a student is allowed to graduate. Practical experience may be acquired through full-time employment, part-time employment, paid or unpaid internships (including CISC 4395), apprenticeships, international experiences, or co-op experiences. The Department Chair must approve practical-experience hours before the beginning of the student’s senior year.  Students must obtain a letter from their employer/supervisor, internship site, etc. to verify their practical experience. Please see the Department Chair for additional information.
