Example Schedules for Completing a B.A. in Computer Science
The following are example schedules for completing the B.A. in Computer Science. The schedules have some flexibility, both in timing and which math courses you take to complete the requirements. We present these typical schedules to show that (1) there are a variety of options for when you can start the Computer Science degree and (2) you can easily complement a Computer Science major with another major or a minor.
The B.S. adds MATH courses 101, 102, and 222 and two additional MATH courses at the 200-level or above, as well as requires both CSCI 312 and CSCI 313.
Starting Fall First Year
| Year | Fall | Winter | Spring |
|---|---|---|---|
| First Year | CSCI 111 | CSCI 112 | |
| Sophomore | CSCI 209 | CSCI 210 MATH 225 (or MATH 121 in fall) |
|
| Junior | MATH 121 (or MATH 225 in winter) Elective 1 |
CSCI 211 Elective 2 |
|
| Senior | CSCI 313 (or CSCI 312 in winter) Elective 3 |
CSCI 312 (or CSCI 313 in fall) Elective 4 |
Starting the computer science major in the fall of the first year yields the most scheduling flexibility and opportunities to take more than the required courses or study abroad for at least one term. Many students take a computer science elective in at least one Spring term.
