While the Computer Science electives are intended for juniors and seniors, the other electives may be moved around in your program, but you must end up with the right number of courses in each category.

Humanities and Social/Behavioral Science Electives
(2 humanities; 2 social/behavioral science courses)

In this category, you may choose any academic courses, including a maximum of two Computer Science courses. However, you may not choose any of the following computing-related courses, which are designed for non-CS majors and thus inappropriate for you to take in a CS major program:
  • CSci 10, 30, 33, 35, 49, 50
