The TAMS Computer Science curricula contain detailed information about each field in computer science and provide a seamless transition for TAMS students to remain at the University of North Texas to pursue a baccalaureate degree in computer science.
Required Courses for Graduation with the TAMS Diploma
(Computer Science)
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.

TAMS Computer Science to Information Technology
The Information Technology pathway is a “2+2” program that allows TAMS students interested in Information Technology 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 who complete Calculus II or higher the second semester of their first year will need to complete MATH 1680 or 1780 (Probability) during the second year.
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.
