In addition to fulfulling the major requirements (15 hours), major electives (12 hours), and major-related electives (15 hours) of the BS-CS degree, students may elect to specialize in one of the eight areas of emphasis listed below. An area of emphasis is an acknowledgment of the attainment of a fair measure of expertise and knowledge of a specific nature within the major field of study. The area of emphasis will be noted on the student's transcript. Courses may satisfy both requirements for the major and requirements for an area of emphasis. Students can declare an area of interest on Athena. For more information, please refer to the UGA Bulletin.
