1Calculus IA and IB will be required instead of Calculus I as is stipulated by the Department of Mathematical Sciences on a per-student basis.
2The Core Curriculum Essential Learning Outcomes for Diversity and Cultural Awareness (DCA) and Social Responsibility and Ethics (SRE) are fulfilled outside the Computer Science major. See the DCA course listing and the SRE course listing for a full list of classes that fulfill these requirements.
3Technical Elective: BIOL.2xxx, BIOL.3xxx, BIOL.4xxx, CHEM.2xxx, CHEM.3xxx, CHEM.4xxx.
4Bio-Cheminformatics Electives: COMP.4200, COMP.4210, COMP.4220, COMP.5400, COMP.5411 (When Bio-Cheminformatics electives satisfy Computer Science project courses, any two Computer Science electives satisfy Computer Science elective requirement).
No more than two Breadth of Knowledge (BOK) courses can be taken with the same prefix. The Core Curriculum courses may be taken in any sequence. Refer to the Core Curriculum policy for further details. You should meet with your faculty advisor to determine how you will meet the Core Curriculum requirements.
