Plan of Study 833

for CPT students admitted to CPT from the Fall '99 semester or Spring '01 semester.

The 833 plan of study specifies the degree requirements for CPT students who were admitted to CPT, transferred to CPT, or changed their degree objective (C.O.D.O.) to CPT with a first enrollment in the Fall '99 semester or Spring '01 semester. Current students who are interested in the telecommunications baccalaureate option must change their associate degree objective to this plan of study.

In this program, students learn basic information systems and information technology concepts and techniques as they develop valuable application-oriented personal computing, database, application development, and programming skills. In combination with the B.S. degree, this A.S. curriculum meets or exceeds most of the recommendations of the IS'95 Model Curriculum for Undergraduate Information Systems Education as defined by the Association of Computing Machinery, the Association for Information Technology Professionals, and the Association of Information Systems. To complement the computing courses, courses in English, speech communications, mathematics, economics, and management are required. Students work in state-of-the-art computing laboratories to complete their assignments. A.S. graduates are typically employed as programmers or personal computing specialists; however, most West Lafayette campus students elect to continue their studies to the B.S. degree. Graduates of this plan of study may matriculate into either an information systems development or a telecommunications and networking baccalaureate option.

Notes

  1. Required for West Lafayette campus only. Waived for students who begin CPT after their freshman year.
  2. Students who are planning to pursue the B.S. degree, must take CPT 272. If a students terminal degree is the A.S.degree, the A.S. computing selective may be fulfilled by any CPT course at or above the 200 level or CS 180 or CS 181. For maximum employment potential, a COBOL or C programming course is highly recommended. At IU campuses, the following courses also apply: CSCI C309 (Object-Oriented Programming in C++) and DPIS D250 (Multimedia).
  3. The following courses have been approved for the communication selective: COM 210 (Debating Public Issues), COM 314 (Advanced Public Speaking), COM 315 (Speech Communication of Technical Information), or COM 320 (Small Group Discussion). In addition, the following may be taken at any Indiana University campus: SPCH S122 (Interpersonal Communications) SPCH S223 (Business and Professional Communication), SPCH S229 (Discussion and Group Methods), and SPCH C281 (Topics in Nonverbal Communication).
  4. Students who plan to pursue the B.S. degree in Computer Technology with the Telecommunications option must take PHYS 218 or P201 (General Physics), EET 214 (Electricity Fundamentals), and EET 233 (Electronics and Industrial Controls). Students who plan to take the B.S. degree in Computer Technology with the Information Systems option must take economics and accounting.
  5. The following courses have been approved for the statistics selective: STAT 301T (Elementary Statistical Methods) , STAT 225 (Introduction to Probability Models - prereq. MA 224), STAT 433 (Statistical Methods for Computer Users - prereq. MA 162), STAT 501 (Experimental Statistics), STAT 511 (Statistical Methods) . Approved courses from I.U. include MA K310/ STAT K310 (Statistical Techniques) or ECON E270 (Introduction to Statistical Theory of Economics and Business).
  6. Students who plan to pursue the B.S. degree in Computer Technology should take MA 223 (Math Analysis I). The calculus selective in the B.S. degree would then become a free elective. The department also accepts MA 221 (Calculus for Technology I), MA 161 (Plane Analytic Geometry and Calculus I), and MA 165 (Analytic Geometry and Calculus I).
