About CS Pathways
The CS pathway represents a collaborative effort designed to facilitate access and support for the successful completion of college degrees in the fields of STEM and STEAM.
The Computer Science pathway provides a total of 14 credit hours at no expense to current high school juniors enrolled in the TRIO Upward Bound program. The courses are available over three semesters, commencing in the summer preceding their senior year.
Courses include:
Math 173: College Algebra
CS 108: : Computer Science For All
CS 200: Programming Fundamentals I
CS 349: Introduction To The Internet Of Things
Summer 2025
New cohort
CS 108: : Computer Science For All (3 Credit Hours)
Computer science has revolutionized many disciplines, and it is no longer only for computer scientists. By studying computer science, students will use computational thinking and apply programming to real-world scenarios and interdisciplinary examples from science, math, and teacher education. Robots and web and mobile-based coding platforms will be used to expose students to coding through different technologies. Students will learn computer science concepts such as algorithms, loops, and conditionals. Finally, students will complete a project using coding to demonstrate scientific, mathematical, or concepts from other disciplines.
Prerequisites: ENGL-101 and Accuplacer College Level Math 020 - 120 (or Accuplacer Adv. Algebra & Func 237 - 300 or NEIU Math Placement Result 30 - 45).
Math 173: College Algebra (3 Credit Hours)
This course emphasizes the concept of a function as a unifying approach to the topics of college algebra. Families of functions studied in the course include: polynomial, rational, exponential, and logarithmic functions. Other topics include conic sections and sequences and series. Applications and problem-solving skills are emphasized throughout the course.
