== Picking a Pathway ==
 +
{{Incomplete}}
 +
When picking a pathway, look at the courses within each curriculum. Many students pick their pathway based on the content of the courses and the ease of credit transfer to other universities. For example, Technical Writing (TECM 2700) is a fairly useless credit when transferred to other institutions while Linear Algebra (MATH 2700) is very useful within the field of computer science as well as a transfer credit. Several students in the Class of 2023 state that the computer engineering pathway and the mathematics pathway are the better pathways within the computer science track.

Revision as of 18:57, 19 June 2022

The Computer Science + Computer Engineering Track is designed for students interested in pursuing careers that require a strong computer programming background. Students on this track will be well-positioned for a degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or Information Technology. Students who have little or no programming experience may need to seek additional support outside of class.

Although it is said to be designed for students with programming experience, all of the computer science courses within the track do not have programming knowledge as a prerequisite.

The Computer Science track was introduced to the Class of 2018. Pathways within the computer science track will be introduced to the Class of 2023.

Computer Science Pathway

Note: TAMS students who choose this pathway are NOT obligated to remain at UNT to complete their degree; students may simply complete the TAMS program and then move on to their next educational institution.

Picking a Pathway

This page may be incomplete. Help us out by adding to it!
Feel free to remove this notice once everything's added.

When picking a pathway, look at the courses within each curriculum. Many students pick their pathway based on the content of the courses and the ease of credit transfer to other universities. For example, Technical Writing (TECM 2700) is a fairly useless credit when transferred to other institutions while Linear Algebra (MATH 2700) is very useful within the field of computer science as well as a transfer credit. Several students in the Class of 2023 state that the computer engineering pathway and the mathematics pathway are the better pathways within the computer science track.

TAMS originally planned to offer a cybersecurity sequence for the Class of 2022, offering CSCE 1035/1045 instead of 1030/1040. This sequence was cancelled due to schedule conflicts with MATH 1710.
