The courses’ prerequisites and further details regarding the program can be found at Pedagogic Project
The curriculum is composed by obligatory and optative courses and complementary activities. Every course is listed hereinafter, followed by its theoretical and practical (T and P) credits, along its course load in the semester. Each profile represents one academic semester, totaling 8 (eight) semesters
The courses’ curriculum was elaborated considering the core knowledge recommended by the Brazilian Computing Society: mathematics, natural sciences, computability fundamentals, computing technology, information systems and social and professional contexts. The first and second periods of the course emphasize a mathematical basis and some computability fundamentals, as well as introducing the student to text construction techniques and to present scientific studies. In these periods, economy, environment and administration concepts are also introduced. The third to the sixth periods are mainly dedicated to the core of computability fundamentals and technologies, adding concepts of productive processes, entrepreneurship and sustainability. The core of information systems is introduced from the third period. The two last periods emphasize the professional core and optative courses.

COMPLEMENTARY ACTIVITIES
Complementary activities, regulated by the Decree GR 461/06, has as its main objective to allow the student to participate in activities, which enable the development of abilities apart from the ones crafted by the courses in the classroom. The complementary activities contribute to educate the students as citizens and professionally enhance them.
Are considered to be complementary activities: monitoring, scientific initiation programs, extension activities, event participation, among others, as long as they are connected to the professional education in the field of Computer Science. The Bachelor program of Computer Science of UFSCar, campus Sorocaba, will offer opportunities on its diverse academic periods of the course, so that the student may participate of activities and consequently account their respective credits.
The student shall gather at least 12 credits from complementary activities, in at least 2 different categories of activities. Such activities may be performed at any time, including in the period of vacations. The student can perform Complementary Activities after enrolling in the first semester of the course.
