Computer Science: Science Requirements

To complete the Computer Science degree, students must complete 5 credits from the following list:

• Physics 121/141
• Chemistry 142, 143 or 145
• Biology 180
• Biology 162 (AP credit) 
• Physics 116 *and* Physics 119 - generally from AP credit. If you have not taken science, PHYS 121 is recommended as Phys 116 is the 3rd course in a series.
• Advanced coursework in these areas or other highly relevant may be petitioned

These were the requirements starting in Fall 2022. For students under the older requirements please see the CE Science Requirement list, which includes all the courses that used to count for the CS science requirement when 10 credits were still required.
