- | See the [[department/ | ||
- | |||
- | Most CS majors take five courses during their second semester, depending on the courses they took in the fall: | ||
- | |||
- | //If you have not yet taken CS 149, then://\\ | ||
- | CS 149, possibly MATH 23X, and three gen-eds. | ||
- | |||
- | --OR-- | ||
- | |||
- | //If you took (and passed) CS 149 this fall, then://\\ | ||
- | CS 159 and CS 227, MATH 23X, and two gen-eds. | ||
- | |||
- | Remember that **you must complete Cluster 1 during your first year** -- so if you took only one of those courses this fall, you will need to take the other two in the spring. | ||
- | |||
- | **Math 23X - Calculus**\\ | ||
- | The CS major requires two Math courses: MATH 235 Calculus, and MATH 220 Statistics. | ||
- | You should take calculus during your freshman year and statistics during your sophomore year. | ||
- | |||
- | If your Math Placement Score was below 30, you will need to take MATH 231 and MATH 232 (two semesters) instead of MATH 235 (one semester). | ||
- | You need to complete either MATH 231 or MATH 235 before taking CS 240 (the course after CS 159). | ||
- | |||
- | MATH 236 is NOT required for CS majors, but it's a good course to take anyway as an elective. | ||
