Bachelor of Science Degree in Computer Engineering Technology - 124 Credits

The following eight-semester schedule of courses provides a recommended framework for completing this program of study in four years. College Algebra (3 cr.) and College Trigonometry (3 cr.) may be substituted for Pre-Calculus, if math placement test score does not permit direct entry into Pre-Calculus, or if students would prefer less intense coverage of this material.
