These are the classes I took while attending Missouri S&T (formerly the University of Missouri – Rolla). These classes, plus a few credits transferred in from high school yielded my BS in Computer Science. I graduated Summa Cum Laude with a 3.863 GPA. Prior to attending Missouri S&T, I graduated from Lee’s Summit High School and received the International Baccalaureate Diploma.
