I graduated 2 years ago with my B.S. degree in Computer Science.

It's still hard to believe that I graduated with a Computer Science degree without taking any calculus course. The CS program prerequisite doesn't require any calculus.

At that time, I thought it's okay, because programming doesn't require a lot of math, and I also got hired as a programmer after I graduated.

But now I want to get a master degree, and it looks like the prerequisite for all graduate schools require you to take atleast 2 calculus course when you were in undergrad.

I guess what I can do right now is attend to community college, and get those calculus credits that I didn't have before.

Cliff:
Graduated 2 years ago with B.S in Computer Science
Never took calculus in undergrad.
Trying to get into Grad school, and they all require you to take atleast 2 calculas course.
Now I'm thinking to go to community college and make up those credits that I didn't have.


BTW, I just checked my school's catalog, and they required all CS major to take Cal 1 and Cal 2, so atleast they improved.

even if it wasn't required to get a BS in CS at your school why didn't you take it anyway? If you were planning on applying for a Masters degree, you should have known you needed it.

Your cliff is almost as many lines, you just didn't skip a line in between lol. :p

Anywho, that sucks. At least you have a degree in something, I should be graduating next quarter but I am thinking about switching majors once again and starting all over!!!

Uhhh... is your degree ABET accredited? If not, you're in trouble. I'm pretty sure for it to be accredited they have to have calc classes.

Calculus is pretty simple (for me at least). I don't think you should have a problem picking it up.

Thats a valid point. I had to take 3 calc courses (I, II, III) for my BS in CS, but I know that CIS majors don't have to take any calc at my previous school.

Also just 2 Calculus courses is still ******. That doesn't even cover multivariate Calculus.

ABET applies to bachelor of science?

Weird, I know at our school CS majors have to take two calc classes, plus Discreet Math and Math Proof, and maybe more.

Like I said in my post. Right after I graduate, the CS program changed. It is now required to take Cal 1 and Cal 2 if you're a CS major.

And yes, it is a Computer Science degree, not a CIS degree. :)
