Program Choice
The Computer Science program offers three emphases: Comprehensive emphasis, General emphasis, and Applied Computing emphasis. The General emphasis is targeted toward students who want to combine their study of computer science with a minor or second major in another area of study. Students who choose the Comprehensive emphasis are not required to complete a minor or second major; instead, they complete additional coursework in computer science, mathematics, natural science, and ethics. The Applied Computing emphasis is designed for students who have obtained an associate degree in Information Technology and related areas from a technical college that have articulation agreements with the Computer Science program at UW-Whitewater. The program also offers a Computer Science minor.
