What is the difference between the BSCS – Broad Field Major and the BS in Computer Science degrees?
UTPA defines a Broad Field major as a major that requires a minimum of 48 hours in a broadly integrated area and requires no minor. The BSCS plan is the one that is accredited by ABET/CAC, The computing accrediting commission of Accreditation Board of Engineering and Technology. The BS degree is a 39 hour degree, requires a minor field, and does not meet the Math and Science requirements of ABET, but has fulfilled the needs of students requiring a less rigorous degree plan.
