* Required for major.
Notes:
- Computer science electives for majors must be 300-level or above.
- All electives must be at least three credits. At least three electives must be taken in departments other than computer science.
- The science electives 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. BL 118 /BL 119 , BL 121 /BL 126 , CH 101 /CH 105 , CH 102 /CH 106 , PH 201 /PH 291 , and PH 202 /PH 292 meet this requirement. EG, MA, ST, and other courses must be approved by the Computer Science Department.
- A total of five CS electives are required. At least three must be CS courses and up to two may be CS-related courses, depending on the track chosen. CS-related electives are courses at the 300-level or higher that are substantially different from those offered by the Computer Science Department and include a sufficiently advanced computing component. Students must submit written requests for approval to the track coordinator (see track requirements below).
- Three specialty tracks are offered: software engineering, interdisciplinary study, and general computer science. To complete a track, students choose their CS and CS-related electives as follows:
Software Engineering: Programming languages, web programming, software testing, database management systems, and one elective approved by the track coordinator.
Interdisciplinary Study: Three CS courses at the 400-level or above and two CS-related electives in a single application area approved by the track coordinator.
General: Four CS electives at the 400-level or above and one CS-related elective approved by the track coordinator, or five CS electives at the 400-level or above.
- Students must complete the diversity core requirement through a designated diversity core, major, or elective course (see Diversity Core Requirement under Curriculum and Policies).
