Students who intend to major in Computer Science and are admitted as first-year students are placed in a pre-major status called CASCN (or DUS in some cases). These students can enter the Computer Science major (COMP), as soon as they meet the qualifications , by completing the Change-of-Major process on LionPath. To be qualified for COMP major, a student must:

Admission is open to those students who have completed two years of
undergraduate study at a community or junior college, any Penn State
campus, or in a baccalaureate program at a four-year college or
university. In general, the first two years of studies should be pursued
in a baccalaureate degree program. A student holding an associate
degree may enter and complete the program successfully; however,
additional course work should be expected which may extend the length
of the program. The student must have completed a minimum of 60
credits with a 2.0 cumulative grade point average and a GPA of 2.4 in
the mathematics and computer science courses. Due to differing backgrounds
of entering students, it is possible that a student may not meet all
admission requirements. It is possible to fulfill some of these admission
deficiencies while taking courses for degree requirement at Penn State
Harrisburg. The specific entrance requirements are given in the following links.
