Transfer students who have followed a computer science curriculum at a two-year college are expected to be able to complete the degree in two years. Upon approval from the CIS Chair, transfer students may use equivalent courses taken elsewhere in fulfillment of major requirements. Academic Requirements Students must earn a grade of C or better in all CS and Mathematics courses applied to the CS or MIS major. At least 24 credits toward the major must be taken in the CIS department at Old Westbury. Evening Students Students who plan to earn the B.S. degree in CS or MIS by attending only evening classes should note that completion of the degrees may take longer than normal.
