The BA program is designed for students with interests in two or more disciplines. Accordingly, students in the Computer Science BA program must elect either

- A second major, or at least 33 credit hours of coursework in a secondary field
- Two secondary fields, each of at least 15 credit hours

Further, it is intended that students in the BA complete a significant independent project. They must either complete a course in the second major or secondary field that includes a thesis/ significant project, or CSci 195 and CSci 196
