Undergraduate Computer Science Programs

To graduate with a degree in mathematics or computer science, majors must have a grade-point average of at least 2.0 in all mathematics and computer science courses, with at most one grade lower than a C. This applies to those courses that have been taken at Adelphi and are in fulfillment of degree requirements.
