Instead there are business courses required. This is not equivalent to a Computer Science degree. That said, I'm sure that it would suffice to get many software jobs, but some employers might not accept it. Also, you would might have to take the missing CS and math courses before you would be accepted for an MSCS, for example. Not saying it's a bad choice, just that it's not the usual degree a software engineer would have. Might be a good choice for someone who has an eye to moving into project management or the like.
Thanks for the input and I do agree it seems odd that they didn't require Calc I or higher. However, I don't mind taking the Calc I CLEP in the future if necessary. Which CS Classes are you referring to that I will be missing with the degree from Hodges?
