resources prospective students why cs students who earn a degree in computer science develop many valuable skills and depending on their interests and experiences can market themselves to work in many different types of industry remember that computer science is all about inventing and problem solving a good way to think about computer scientists is that they develop the brains that actually run the computer programs people use for example when you search for a book online and you find the book you want and the website also tells you about similar books you might enjoy computer scientists were the people who developed the brains for that website that give you those other recommendations based on your interests this is just one example of the countless inventions that computer scientists develop every day we encourage prospective computer science students and their families to meet with a department representative before making a decision about what college to attend or program to study our goal is to give you a better understanding of what computer science is explain the details of the computer science program and curriculum and answer any questions you might have you will also have the opportunity to take a self guided tour through the computer science floor to see what our labs classrooms and student areas are like we encourage you to call our student services office in advance at 1 585 475 2995 a member of our staff will be able to assist you in setting up a one hour appointment with our manager of student services unfortunately we cannot accommodate same day appointments and availability during the week fills up quickly change of program into cs if you are a current student at rit and are interested in possibly changing your current major to computer science please review the following information the bs curricular flowchart can be found here ntid students in an associate degree program who are seeking admission to the computer science bs program should review the information and follow the process below substituting the intent to enroll form for the change of program form entrance criteria bs program 1 students must have at least a 3 0 cumulative gpa and a 3 0 gpa in technical courses computing math and science if applicable it is expected that you have completed or are currently taking an intro sequence computer science course ap computer science a csci 141 if your current major requires a different introductory computing course that course may apply prior to applying for change of program computer science is not for everybody nor does everyone find that it is what they expected it to be having completed a computer science course will help you confirm your interest and proficiency prior to applying for change of program 2 students in their first term of their first year at rit may not apply for a change of program into computer science they must wait until they are in at least their second term to apply 3 students in the computing exploration program must have at least a 2 0 cumulative gpa there is no gpa requirement for individual technical courses 4 students who were once in computer science then completed the college restoration program crp and who are now applying to re enter computer science will have their own individualized entrance criteria as noted on their original crp referral it is important to note that we cannot guarantee acceptance into computer science even if the above entrance criteria are met as it will depend on the demand and on the space available in our program from term to term the exception to this is for computing exploration students who are guaranteed entry if they meet their entrance requirements applications for the cs bs program must be sent by the last day of classes in the term to lucieann condino stollery lcsseo rit edu we cannot accept any late applications or personal statements ms program applicants must satisfy prerequisite requirements in mathematics differential and integral calculus probability and statistics discrete mathematics and computer science theory and computing experience with a modern high level language e g c java data structures software design methodology introductory computer architecture operating systems and programming language concepts if an applicant lacks any prerequisites bridge courses may be required to provide students with the required knowledge and skills needed for the program change of program process if you believe computer science is the right fit for you please follow the following process 1 you are required to attend a change of program into cs information session we anticipate holding two such sessions per semester one around week 4 or 5 and another around enrollment week contact us at cs dept rit edu for details on when and where the information sessions will be held or if you are unable to attend one of the sessions 2 meet with your assigned academic advisor from your current home program and file an official change of program application form your home department will sign off on the form and will send it to us for evaluation 3 your application must also include a one page personal statement to be submitted along with the change of program application form the statement should include the following information your name and contact information why you are applying for change of program your academic strengths why you believe you will be successful in the computer science program your professional goals and interests applications that do not contain this personal statement will not be considered time frame for change of program processing the computer science department will process change of program requests twice per year applications received no later than the last day of classes for the fall semester will be considered for change of program beginning in the subsequent spring semester applications received no later than the last day of classes for the spring semester will be considered for change of program beginning in the subsequent fall semester although technically the change of program will be processed beginning with the summer term in each case applications received by the deadline will be held as pending and processed once grades for the fall or spring term have posted please send your completed documents to lucieann condino stollery lcsseo rit edu for processing generally acceptable coursework bs program all coursework will be evaluated on an individual basis however there may be alternative courses used in place of required courses as noted below students who do not take the typical courses required may need to learn some topics on their own in order to be fully prepared to take additional computer science courses 1 general education coursework as well as yearone and wellness can be applied keep in mind that computer science has specific math and science requirements 2 in place of csci 141 142 computer science i ii students may use igme 105 106 game development and algorithmic problem solving i ii iste 120 121 computational problem solving in the information domain i ii gcis 123 124 software development and
