The TAMS Computer Science and Mathematics curricula allow students to pursue the original TAMS curriculum in Computer Science or to explore other fields related to computer science. Each pathway contains detailed information about its curriculum, including course descriptions, and each pathway can become a “2+2” degree program for TAMS students who remain at the University of North Texas to earn a baccalaureate degree.
Required Courses for Graduation with the TAMS Diploma
(Computer Science + Mathematics Track)
TAMS Computer Science to Computer Science
The Computer Science pathway is a “2+2” program that allows TAMS students interested in computer science to complete two years at TAMS and then remain at UNT for two years to complete a baccalaureate degree. Although the CSCE department has introduced courses for new degrees in cybersecurity, CSCE 1030/1040 are required for the computer science degree. TAMS students who choose this pathway are NOT obligated to remain at UNT to complete their degree; students may simply complete the TAMS program and then move on to their next educational institution.
Students may elect to change pathways ONCE at the end of their first semester but before the first day of class of the second semester. This excludes the Music track as the College of Music requires a student to audition during the TAMS admissions process. Changing tracks may require students to complete Summer courses between their first year and second year at TAMS in order to “catch up” with the requirements of the new pathway curriculum. Students considering a change in pathway MUST meet with their Academic Counselor and MUST receive approval before enrolling in courses for their second semester.
