BA in Computer Science in Washington, D.C. United States | George Washington University

The Bachelor of Arts (BA) in Computer Science caters to students aiming to pair computer science with another major or multiple minors, often in fields like natural sciences, liberal arts, or business. This program offers a solid grounding in computer science while allowing flexibility to explore courses from other disciplines. Participants must choose either a second major or two minors. To meet residency requirements, all computer science majors must complete at least 18 upper-level computer science credits at GW, which may include courses from approved study abroad programs.

Ideal for those seeking to blend computer science fundamentals with another field, the BA program contrasts with the BS option, which provides deeper specialization in computer science. Non-SEAS students considering the BA as a double major should refer to the second major page for details.
