1. Students must complete a minimum of 120 credit hours with a cumulative grade point average of 2.0 or higher.
2. A minimum of 30 credit hours must be taken at the 300 level or above.
3. Entering freshmen must take SSCI-E 105 Science Freshmen Learning Community (1 cr.).  
4. General Education. Students must complete all of the requirements of the Indiana University Kokomo campus-wide general education curriculum. The General Education requirements in critical thinking and cultural diversity are satisfied by the major. Courses that fulfill the requirements for a cognate area may also meet the general education distribution requirements. Any course used to meet major requirements may also be used to meet one but not more than one of the general education distribution requirements. Core and the cognate area must be completed with a grade of C- or better. A minimum overall GPA of 2.0 in the informatics core and the cognate area is required. Courses in other departments that are used to fulfill general education requirements or general electives may be completed with any passing grade except ENG-W 131, ENG-W 132, and SPCH-S 121 which require a grade of C. A minimum overall GPA of 2.0 is required for graduation. Zero level mathematics and English courses do not count in the 120 credit hours required for graduation and cannot be used to fulfill distribution requirements.

5. Informatics Courses (40 cr.). INFO-I 101 Introduction to Informatics (4 cr.), INFO-I 201 Mathematical Foundations of Informatics (4 cr.), INFO-I 202 Social Informatics (3 cr.), INFO-I 210 Information Infrastructure I (4 cr.), INFO-I 211 Information Infrastructure II (4 cr.), INFO-I 213 Website Design and Development (3 cr.), INFO-I 300 Human Computer Interaction (3 cr.), INFO-I 303 Organizational Informatics (3 cr.), INFO-I 308 Information Representation, (3 cr.), and INFO-I 356 Globalization (3 cr.), INFO-I 450 Systems Design (3 cr.), and INFO-I 451 Systems Development (3 cr.) (senior standing; capstone courses).

6. Cognate area courses cannot count as Informatics core courses or Informatics elective courses even if these courses are cross-listed with Informatics. If cognate area courses are equivalent to Informatics core courses, students should substitute additional Informatics elective courses in place of Informatics core courses to meet the 40 credit hour requirement. (See Informatics core courses).
