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.
+
{{Incomplete}}The TAMS Computer Science and Mathematics curricula allow students to pursue the original TAMS curriculum in Computer Science or to explore other fields related to computer science. Each pathway contains detailed information about its curriculum, including course descriptions, and each pathway can become a “2+2” degree program for TAMS student who remain at the University of North Texas to earn a baccalaureate degree.
    
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 [[:Category:Class of 2018|Class of 2018]]. Pathways within the computer science track was introduced for the [[:Category:Class of 2023|Class of 2023]]. Originally, this track was called Computer Science + Computer Engineering but was renamed in 2022.

== Picking a Pathway ==
 +
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.

Below is a chart of all differences between each track for courses required for graduation during TAMS. This excludes all UNT year courses.
