Revision as of 12:24, 8 February 2019

Below are proposed revisions to the CS BS degree.

Note that the current major includes 10 courses required of all majors, 5 additional courses required for information science, 3 CS courses required of computing science, and 2 math courses required for computing science.

Open question - prerequisite structure. Things that required 201 now require 260 and/or 303/451?
