Certificate of computer science level b là bằng gì năm 2024

In the College of Natural Sciences, only one transcript-recognized minor or transcript-recognized certificate may be declared per major.

A student who wishes to pursue more than one transcript-recognized minor or transcript-recognized certificate per major must consult with his or her academic advisor to get permission from the College. When considering whether to grant an exception and allow pursuit of another transcript-recognized credential, the academic advisor will take into account the student's long-term education/professional goals and the student's ability to graduate within four years of entering the university.

Students admitted to transcript-recognized certificate and transcript-recognized minor programs must contact their academic advisors to have approved programs added to their degree audit profiles. This allows progress toward the programs to be tracked and ensures that certificates and minors are added to official transcripts upon graduation, if all requirements are met.

Minors

The College of Natural Sciences does not offer any minor programs. To see a full list of minors offered at the University, please see section of the Undergraduate Catalog.

The transcript-recognized undergraduate academic minor must be completed in conjunction with an undergraduate degree at The University of Texas at Austin.
