Montgomery College Transfer Advising by Major: COMPUTER SCIENCE & RELATED MAJORS
Computer Engineering This program provides students with the
knowledge to design and build computer systems that meet a wide range of
information processing requirements. The course of study includes
hardware design and software systems, theory and applications of
computers, mathematics, physics, chemistry, electrical signals and
circuits, logic design, computer architecture, operating systems,
database systems, data communications, microprocessors, computer
programming, and artificial intelligence.
Typically requires MA 181 & 181 Calculus I & II, MA 280
Multivariable Calculus, Physics PH 161-263, Engineering Science courses
ES, CH 135 Chemistry for Engineers, and CS 103 & 204 Computer Science
I & II, CS 136 and CS 256 Discrete Structures
|
Computer
Science
A traditional computer science curriculum includes courses in data
structures and algorithms, operating systems, databases, programming
languages, and software engineering. This concentration builds a solid
foundation of computing theories with their applications in mind. Typically requires MA 181 & 181
Calculus I & II, CS 136 and CS 256 Discrete Structures, and CS 103
& 204 Computer Science I & II (except UMCP, see
below)
|
Networking
and Information Security Focuses on concepts & skills related to
design and management of computer networks. Courses include computer
architecture, data communications, local area networks, inter/intra
networking, and network security.
|
|
Information Assurance is closely related to information security
and the terms are sometimes used interchangeably. Information Assurance
also includes reliability and emphasizes strategic risk management over
tools and tactics. In addition to defending against hackers &
viruses, IA includes other corporate issues such as privacy, compliance,
audits, and disaster recovery. While information security draws mainly
from computer science, IA is interdisciplinary and draws from multiple
fields, including accounting, fraud examination, forensic science,
management science, systems engineering, security engineering, and
criminology, in addition to computer science.
|
Information
Systems
Emphasizes applications of computer and information systems in
businesses. Courses include systems analysis and design, management information
systems, Windows programming, other upper-level computer science courses,
and courses from the business department such as accounting &
principles of management. Usually
requires completion of business courses such as AC 201 & 202
Principles of Accounting I & II, EC 201 & 202, Prin. of Economics
I & II, and BA 210/MA 116
Statistics.
|
Computer
Graphics and Gaming Teaches concepts and skills that are
essential to graphics programming in a popular graphics library such as
OpenGL or DirectX, and the design and construction of interactive
computer games. Courses include algorithms and data structures, software
engineering, artificial intelligence, computer graphics, and game design
and programming.

YOU NEED
TO KNOW:
- The University of Maryland, College Park’s COMPUTER SCIENCE MAJOR
requires that students take Computer
Science I & II
(CMSC 131 & 132, Object-Oriented Programming I & II, 8
credits) at UMCP, or
take a placement exam after completing CS 103 & 204 Computer
Science I & II at MC. You
may take CMSC 131 & 132 at UMCP while enrolled at MC through the
Maryland Transfer Advantage Program MTAP www.montgomerycollege.edu/MTAP
. Take these classes either
during a regular semester or in a summer session so that you stay on
track in a four-year plan to graduate with a bachelor’s degree. Another option is to take CS 103
& 204 at MC (Computer Science I & II); however, you will be
asked to take a challenge exam at UMCP to demonstrate your master of
computer science so that you won’t have to take CMSC 131 & 132
after transfer.

1) Some Computer Science
majors require completion of 12 credits of science for science majors
in addition to computer science courses.
This science requirement exists at schools whose CS programs have CAC/ABET accreditation
(an engineering and computer science professional association). Check with each school’s specific major
requirements for Computer Science. These two schools require 12 credits
of lab science in addition to computer science requirements:
1.
Towson
- A sequence of two lab courses
must be taken from physics, biology or chemistry, which must be accepted
in that major. One additional 4-unit course or two additional 3-unit
courses from physics, biology or chemistry, also accepted in that major,
with the requirement that 12 units of science be met. MC course equivalents: BI 107 & 108 Principles of Biology
I & II, CH 101 & 102
Principles of Chemistry I & II, PH 161 & 262 & 263 General
Physics I, II, III. See detailed
requirements here: http://www.towson.edu/cosc/files/DB_Computer%20Sci2311.pdf
2.
UMBC: Computer science majors must take 12 credits in
science courses. Two courses must be from one of the following
sequences: BI
107 & 108 Principles of Biology I & II, CH 101 & 102 Principles of Chemistry I
& II, PH 161 & 262 & 263 General Physics I, II, III. http://www.csee.umbc.edu/~ugrad/ Note also that UMBC has a world
language requirement for all majors – students must show proficiency to
the intermediate level of a language (201-level) – can be fulfilled by
high school Level 4 of a language or college courses or proficiency test.
3.
UMCP’s
program does not have this additional 12-credit
science course requirement.

2)
The ACADEMIC COMMON
MARKET allows students in Maryland to enroll at a participating
ACM school and pay in-state tuition for these specialized majors:
1.
Bachelor of Science in Biometric
Systems at West
Virginia University WV
2.
Bachelor of Science in Computer
and Information Science with a concentration in Networking
and Security at Shepherd
University WV
3.
Bachelor of Science Telecommunications Systems
