Computer Science Coordinate

The Tulane Computer Science Coordinate Major program helps students develop into leaders who are able to solve interdisciplinary problems using the tools of computer science and computing technology.

What is a coordinate major?

A coordinate major is an additional major designed to complement the primary one. To earn a coordinate major in computer science, students must also complete a major in another discipline. Any undergraduate major at Tulane can serve as a primary major for the computer science coordinate major.

Upon successful completion of the coordinate major, the student's transcript will reflect the fact that the student has completed the coordinate major in computer science with a focus on the area of application. The Department of Computer Science doesn't currently offer a standalone Bachelor of Science in Computer Science degree or computer science minor. While this might change in the future, students should not count on the possibility of either when deciding on enrolling at Tulane or in computer science courses. The undergraduate degree (Bachelor of Science or Bachelor of Arts) received by the student is determined by their primary major.

Other computing courses

Students interested in computing, but not in pursuing the coordinate major, are invited to consider our foundational courses for non-majors, such as CMPS 1100 Foundations of Programming (3 c.h.) and a Maymester course, CMPS 2120 Programming and Prob Solving (3 c.h.).

About the department

More info about the Department of Computer Science and the program is available on the department webpage.

If you’re working toward a bachelor’s degree, your first stop is our admission office. Last year, more than 150 international students pursued undergraduate degrees at Tulane. Let our counselors help you with entry requirements, academics, living in New Orleans, tuition, and more. (Don’t rule us out based on cost: We offer up to $23,000 in need-based financial aid to international students who qualify and who have not already been awarded that amount or more in merit scholarships.)

The 2023 freshman application is open.
We accept both the Common Application and our own online application.
