The College of Computer and Information Science
and the Department of Physics
reserve the right to modify
the curriculum described in this document or the individual courses
as necessary in the future.
Revision of September 13, 2012:
-
Changes the definition of CS elective to the common definition that
allows most CS and IS courses.
Revision of December 20, 2012:
-
Notes the changes in offering the Overview and Co-op Preparation courses.
Computer Science (41 or 42 SH: 9 @ 4 SH, 5 or 6 @ 1 SH)
Required Computer Science Courses (37 or 38 SH)
Freshmen and certain transfers will take CS 1200
during Fall semester.
Starting in Fall 2012, all students will take CS 1210
in the semester before going on co-op.
Prior to Fall 2012, transfers took CS 1220 instead
of CS 1210. Starting in Fall 2012, CS 1220 will not be offered.

The general electives must be consistent with the policy
on general electives articulated by the College of
Computer and Information Science on the college web site.
NU Core
2 of the general electives must be used to satisfy:
Level 1 Arts/Humanities Core
Level 1 Social Sciences Core
Comparative Cultures Requirement
The Comparative Cultures Requirement must be satisfied. If this is done
by taking a course then this course must be one of the general electives
that is taken in addition to the NU Core Level 1 electives.
Capstone Requirement
Either the CS Elective or one PHYS Elective must satisfy the
Capstone Requirement.
Integrative Courses
