Computer
Science, Telecommunications, and Web Technology Systems Computer Science The School of Computer Science and Telecommunications offers six majors and three certificate programs. Courses are also provided for computer literacy. All courses presented for the major and minor must be approved in accordance with approved curriculum check sheets and must be passed with a grade of C or higher. A double major in computer science and telecommunications is not offered because of the aligned nature of these two programs. For additional information, please check the website at http://cs.roosevelt.edu. Certificates in
Computer Science, Telecommunications, These certificate programs are designed for those who want to gain enough knowledge quickly to immediately enhance their employment opportunities in the fast-growing information technology arena. A major advantage of this program is that courses earned in these certificates may be later applied towards a bachelor’s degree. Each certificate in computer science, telecommunications, and web technology systems consists of seven computer science and telecommunications courses plus one or two math prerequisites. See a computer science advisor for more details, including a list of the relevant courses. Major in Computer Science leading to a BA degree The applications/business-oriented track is designed for those seeking careers in the expanding information technology field who do not wish to follow the traditional computer science curriculum with its emphasis on mathematics and computing systems theory. These individuals often get jobs in emerging areas such as electronic commerce, web design, PC support, software training, and systems integration. They may also pursue careers in more established roles such as business analyst, applications programmer, or database administrator. A minor in mathematics or business is recommended for the applications track. The systems/technical track is a middle road between the applications track and the BS degree. It includes more mathematics and computer systems theory than the BA applications track and less than the BS degree. A minor in mathematics is required for the systems track. At least 30 semester hours of credit must be taken at Roosevelt University, with at least 15 of these in the computer science major; at most 60 semester hours may be taken at the 100 level. At least 74 semester hours must be in non-computing courses. Students planning to pursue an MS in computer science should take Math 231, 245, and 300, as well as Cst 280 in their curriculum.

Major in Computer Science leading to a BS degree This program follows the traditional computer science curriculum with its emphasis on mathematics and computing systems theory. It prepares students to pursue careers in highly technical areas such as systems programming and software engineering, or to go on to pursue graduate degrees in computer science or telecommunications. A minimum of 30 semester hours must be taken at Roosevelt University, with at least 15 of these in the computer science major; at most 60 semester hours may be applied to the degree at the 100 level. At least 74 semester hours must be in non-computing courses. A minor in mathematics is required. This degree has a specific natural science requirement. Students must take a sequence of two laboratory courses in natural science and one additional course in natural science. Requirements for the major in computer science leading to a BS degree
Minor in Mathematics for the BS in Computer Science
Minor in Computer Science Five courses are required for a minor in computer science. In addition, any mathematics prerequisites for these courses, such as Math 121, must be taken as part of the student’s undergraduate degree program. All five of these courses must be passed with a grade of C or higher. At least two courses must be taken at Roosevelt University.
The use of computers and digital voice and data communications are revolutionizing the way people and businesses work. Advanced information technologies are beginning to change people’s personal lives as well as in areas ranging from banking to shopping and entertainment. Telecommunications technologies lie at the heart of many of these amazing changes. Businesses are now in need of workers who can develop and manage these new technologies—people with open minds, who can quickly learn new concepts and skills. More and more, this means people with a college education. Major in Telecommunications leading to a BA degree This program parallels the structure of the BA in computer science in that it allows the choice between an applications/managerial and a systems/technical track. The first track prepares individuals for careers as telecommunications analysts, project managers, technical trainers, sales representatives, business strategy consultants, and network support personnel. The second track leads to careers as network administrators, analysts, designers, and telecommunications technology consultants. The curriculum begins with a foundation in computer science and then moves on to cover topics such as voice and data communications technologies; network analysis and design; telecommunications management, regulations, and policies; traffic engineering; and business case studies. A minor in mathematics or business is recommended for the applications/managerial track; a minor in mathematics is required for the systems/technical track. All courses in the major and minor must be completed with a grade of C or higher. A minimum of 30 semester hours must be taken at Roosevelt University, with at least 15 of these in the major; at most 60 semester hours may be counted toward the degree at the 100 level. At least 74 semester hours must be in non-computing courses. Students planning to pursue an MS in telecommunications should take Math 231 and 245 as well as Cst 280.

Web Technology Systems In just a few short years, web jobs have grown tremendously. Every business from the Fortune 500 to the neighborhood plumber is using e-commerce to reach customers and do business. Businesses need the people who can develop the software for e-commerce, run the program, and market it. Job-seekers with the right experience, training, and enthusiasm are in high demand. Developing skills, working with team members, and keeping up with training are vital in the workplace, especially with rapid changes in technology. Major in Web Technology Systems (WTS) leading to a BA degree The WTS major has the same structure as the major in computer science leading to a BA; however, students have a great deal of flexibility in choosing the courses in the major sequence. The combination of courses covers important areas of web programming and the workings of the World Wide Web. Students will receive training in Java, HTML, Perl, PHP, CGI and ASP. Careers in this degree program include e-commerce programmer, Internet strategist, and web system analyst. All courses in the major and minor must be completed with a grade of C or higher. A minimum of 30 semester hours must be taken at Roosevelt University with at least 15 of these in the major. At most 60 semester hours at the 100 level may be counted toward the degree; at least 74 semester hours must be in non-computing courses. A minor in mathematics or business is recommended.
