{{Incomplete}}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 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 Class of 2018. Pathways within the computer science track was introduced for the Class of 2023. Originally, this track was called Computer Science + Computer Engineering but was renamed in 2022.

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[edit | edit source]

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.

Requirements CS CE INFO MATH
Foundations of Computing (CSCE 2100) and

Foundations of Data Structures (CSCE 2110)

*This was restricted to ENGL 2321, 2326, 2331, 2341, or 2351 in the Fall 2020 semester.

**Math above 1720 is optional for second year students.

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.
