CSCI 490: Advanced Topics in Computer Science[Topic title]

Major Upper Division Requirement
Course Substitution:
N/A
Reason:
The Computer Science department recently (as of the 2013-2014) underwent a major catalog revision involving a large number of documents submitted to the undergraduate council. Under the 2013-2014 and 2014-2015 catalogs Computer Science majors are required to take a minimum of 12 hours from the regularly offered upper division Computer Science Courses. During the process of these catalog revisions CSCI 490: Advanced Topics in Computer Science[Topic title] was omitted from the list of acceptable upper division Computer Science electives. The members of the Computer Science department believe this was in error, and are seeking an adjustment to the 2013-2014 and 2014-2015 CSCI catalogs (major code 6610) for all current Computer Science students to allow CSCI 490 hours to count towards the 12 additional hours in Computer Science. The department plans to submit a similar correction to the undergraduate council to amend and correct future catalogs.
