Computer Science Degree Plan[edit | edit source]

Here is a Computer Science Degree Plan for University of Maryland Global Campus (UMGC) as of approximately March of 2024. Please make sure that the suggestions are still valid before beginning to follow this plan.

Alt Courses[edit | edit source]

The alternative credit courses were handpicked using experience from previous students regarding which courses will be the easiest and quickest to take.

Tips on Order in Which to Complete Courses[edit | edit source]

Start with Sophia.org. Unfortunately, Sophia only allows two courses to be open at one time, so only complete one course at a time that has touchstones (written assignments). Once done with Sophia, move on to Study.com.

How Long Will It Take To Complete This Degree Once I Finish All the Alterative Credits?[edit | edit source]

Terms are 8 weeks long. Typically, you will take 2 classes per term which is full-time. If you transfer in 90 credits, you could complete a degree in around 10-12 months.

Source of Credit[edit | edit source]

This degree plan was made using this source to map out all the alternative credits.

Computer Science Major | 36 Credits[edit | edit source]

  • At least 36 credits must be upper-level and include at least one-half of the credits required for the major. The remaining upper-level credits may be earned in any part of the curriculum.
  • At least half the required number of credits for any major must be earned through graded coursework. Credits earned by examination, portfolio assessment, and noncollegiate training do not count as graded coursework.
