  1. The three computer science electives for majors must be 400- or graduate-level courses.
  2. All electives must be at least three credits. At least three electives must be taken in departments other than computer science.
  3. All science courses must be majors-level courses emphasizing quantitative and/or experimental methods in a physical or biological science and not a primarily computational, mathematical, or engineering design course. EG, MA, and ST courses must be specifically approved by the Computer Science Department.
