The BSE Degree in Computer Science gives students a rigorous training in computer science and requires a total of 40 course units (cu) as follows:
COMPUTER SCIENCE (CSCI) 40 CU
Entered in Fall 2012
Math (6 CU)
MATH 104
MATH 114
CIS 160
CIS 261 or ESE 301 or ENM 321 or Stat 430
Math Elective
Math Elective
Natural Science (4 CU)
For CSCI Majors, Nat Sci may also include
the following Cog Sci Courses: LING 250,
330; PSYC 111, 121 (these courses cannot
be used by CSCI majors in the SSH category)
PHYS 140 or PHYS 150
PHYS 141 or PHYS 151
Natural Science
Natural Science/Lab Reqt*
*NOTE: One year of laboratory course work is required which can be used as one of the 4 CU's. One way to satisfy this requirement is by taking Phys 150 and Phys 151.
Engineering (14 CU)
CIS 110
CIS 120
CIS 121
CIS 240
CIS 262
CIS 320
Select one from the following list:
*A CIS Elective is any CIS or MKSE engineering course. The SEAS student handbook defines all CIS and MKSE classes numbered 1xx-5xx to be engineering courses, with the following exceptions: CIS 100, 101, 106, 125, 160, 261, 262. These courses do not count as CIS engineering classes (except CIS 262 which counts as an engineering course for CSCI majors). Additionally, ESE 350 may be used to satisfy a CIS Elective requirement.
Please note: Students may count at most 1 c.u. of 1xx credit towards their CIS Electives.
Tech Elective (6 CU)
(Dept. Approval Required)
Two Engineering Courses required. Remaining courses can be from:
1: Any approved minor or minor equiv; or a
sequence of approved courses.
2: Any Math, Nat Sci or Eng, or the
following list: LING 106; PHIL 231,
244, 411, 413, 444, 445; PSYC 413;
OPIM 220, 321, 325
