Computer Science Field of Study
Senate Bill 148 of the 75th Texas Legislature (1997) mandated Field of Study curricula. The field of study curricula, along with core curricula, are intended to facilitate transferability of courses among Texas public colleges and universities. All public four-year institutions are required to accept Coordinating Board approved field of study courses in fulfillment of lower-division requirements for bachelor's degrees in majors that correspond to the field of study.
Core Curriculum and Field of Study for Computer Science is designed for students seeking a bachelor's degree with a major in computer science.
The Computer Science Field of Study Curriculum is designed to apply to the bachelor's degree of computer science but may also be applied to the Bachelor of Arts or other baccalaureate-level computer science degrees as deemed appropriate by the awarding institution. The field of study curriculum is furthermore intended to serve as a guide for community and technical colleges in structuring a transfer curriculum in computer science.

* COSC 1436 and COSC 1437 are preparatory and sequential in nature; however, not all courses are required for the computer Science major at all universities, but may apply to general degree requirements.
- COSC 1436 is not part of the Computer Science major requirements at The University of Texas at Austin, University of Texas at Arlington, University of Texas at Dallas, and Texas A&M University.
- COSC 1437 is not part of the Computer Science major requirements at The University of Texas at Austin.
Preparatory courses such as COSC 1436 and COSC 1437 will assist students that need additional background but do not apply toward the Computer Science major requirements.
** COSC 2425 is not part of the Computer Science major requirements at the University of Texas at Austin or Texas A&M University, but my be applied to general degree requirements.
*** Meets TCC Core Curriculum requirement
# It is recommended that students complete the math sequence, physics sequence, and computer science sequence at the same institution to reduce the likelihood of potential gaps in curriculum.
