Computer Science Degree Plan
The student would complete the Associate of Science in Computer Science, taking four core curriculum courses from the list below. The student would also need to take COSC 2353, Operating Systems, from HCU during Semester 4. The price for Blinn students to take COSC 2353 from HCU during Semester 4 is set at $550, with no additional fees.

This student would then transfer to HCU ready to begin his/her junior year, still needing to take one Liberal Arts Core Class (LACC) at HCU, along with GOVT 2312 and HIST 2311, for which there are no equivalent classes at Blinn. The requirement for FYS 1300 is waived for students who have completed more than 32 hours. Students transferring to HCU with 45 hours or more are only required to take CHRJ 3300 as opposed to taking CHRI 1301 and CHR 23 73, thus reducing the number of hours in the degree plan from 125 to 122.
