Additional Information and Notes


 

♥        Students may choose to use support courses to satisfy general education categories, but may not be required to do so.  Note:  If a course is used to satisfy two or more requirements (for example, a support course and Scientific Reasoning requirement), the credits are counted in only one place.  Using a course to satisfy more than one requirement does not reduce the credit total required for graduation.  

♣        Courses used to satisfy the general education requirements of the university must be taken from a minimum of six different academic disciplines.  First Year Seminar and Level I Written Communications courses are exempt from this restriction.  Courses may not be used to fulfill both major discipline and general education requirements.

#         These Scientific Reasoning General Education Category courses do not have to be a sequence or be from the same discipline.

‡        Level II and Level III Written Communications Courses may be used to satisfy requirements anywhere else in a student’s program of study where they may apply.  The credits are counted only in one area. 

†        At least one CSC elective or one Option course must be chosen from the following list of courses using a programming language other than the one used in the CSC201J/CSC202J sequence: CSC245A, 273, 278, 311, 325.

¶        At least one CSC elective must be numbered 290 or above.

◊         A laboratory science sequence chosen from the following list is a required support ingredient for the Computer Science major: BIO131-132, CHE130-131, CHE130-212, PHS211A-212A, PHS221-222, GLS100-102.

∞        This science support course is in addition to the lab science sequence and must be chosen from the following list: BIO131, CHE130, CHE212, GPH101P, GLS100, GLS102, PHS211A, PHS221.

►       Choose one MAT course of at least three credits that has MAT220 or MAT221 as a prerequisite, or another MAT course with permission of the Computer Science Chairperson.

Total credits for graduation: 120
