Computer Science Double Degree Option
This option is available within the Computer Science major at the following location:
- Ecampus
The Computer Science Double Degree option is for students who want to combine a bachelor’s degree in computer science with a bachelor’s degree in another field. Since computer science is relevant in so many diverse disciplines, students can obtain a computer science degree in combination with virtually any other degree. Those who already hold a bachelor’s degree—a BA or BS—from an accredited institution can add to their existing skill set and enhance their job prospects by earning a computer science degree online from OSU. The program of study includes the core courses in computer science, and also includes courses at the leading edge of computing technologies, software design, web development, and mobile/cloud computing.
All of the courses in the Double Degree option are offered through Ecampus, and most of the courses are also offered on-campus. This degree requires students to be enrolled as online students selecting DSC-Distance Degree Corvallis as their campus.
Students who choose the Computer Science Double Degree option may pursue a degree in computer science concurrently while earning a second bachelor’s degree, or may pursue the computer science degree as a post-baccalaureate degree.
