*A minimum C (2.0) grade must be earned.

***A minimum C (2.0) grade must be earned to fulfill the writing-intensive requirement.
***Any CS 3/40000-level elective course, along with one or more of the following courses can be taken to satisfy this requirement:    
    MATH 22005 Analytic Geometry and Calculus III
    MATH 40011 Introduction to Probability
    PHY 12411 Introduction to Computer Hardware
    Additionally, with the CS undergraduate advisor's prior permission, other select courses from outside the department may be
   counted. These courses must be computer science-related and/or integrate into the students program of study.
