Students interested in pursuing a degree in computer science who have a minimum composite ACT score of 19 and Math ACT scores of 19-23 (SAT composite 900; Math 460-550), will be admitted into Pre-Computer Science until all of the following minimum requirements are met:

• 15 earned semester credit hours of college-level coursework;
• Overall college Grade Point Average of 2.0;
• Completion of ENG 101 Beginning Composition (or equivalent) with a grade of C;
• Completion of MTH 127 College Algebra-Expanded/MTH 130 College Algebra (or equivalent) with a grade of C;
• MTH 132 Precalculus with Sci Applica (or equivalent) with a grade of C

In order to transfer into the computer science program offered at Marshall, students must meet the Math ACT requirement or complete the requirements listed above for Pre-Computer Science majors. This pertains to transfer students within Marshall or from another institution.

Once all requirements listed above have been met, students will be transferred to the computer science major.
