One additional capstone course or independent study from the following list may be chosen, with advisement and departmental approval, and applied towards the CS Options. Also see the Suggested Sequence.
Capstone Courses and Independent Study:
- CSC 399: Internship in Computer Science
- CSC 498: Mentored Research I in Computer Science
- CSC 499: Mentored Research II in Computer Science
- CSC 391: Independent Study in Computer Science with departmental approval.
Students may take additional Computer Science Options courses, including capstone courses and independent study, for free elective credit.
Required Mathematics Courses (four course units)
Required Natural Science Courses
- BIO 201 – Foundations of Biological Inquiry (formerly known as BIO 185: Themes in Biology, effective Fall 2016).
- BIO 211 – Biology of the Eukaryotic Cell
- CHE 201 – General Chemistry I
- CHE 202 – General Chemistry II
- PHY 201 – General Physics I
- PHY 202 – General Physics II
- CHE 331 – Organic Chemistry I
- CHE 332 – Organic Chemistry II
World Language Requirements (two or three course units)
Two courses in sequence in any of the modern languages are required if students opt for a language not previously studied in high school or another institution.
Alternatively, students continuing a foreign language previously taken in high school or at another institution must take three courses of that language in sequence. However, this requirement may be reduced by taking a placement test in that language. Based on the student’s performance on that test, 0, 1, 2, or 3 courses may be required.
Consult the department for details.
Note: Arabic 151 and 152: Chinese 151 and 152; Japanese 151 and 152; Persian 151 and 152; and Russian 151 and 152 are intensive courses and carry two course units of credit each. Students should take this into account when planning a normal four-course semester.
