Revision of September 13, 2012:
-
Changes the definition of IS elective to include the common definition that
allows most CS and IS courses.
-
Continues to permit a list of courses from other units that may count as an
IS elective.
Revision of December 20, 2012:
-
Notes the changes in offering the Overview and Co-op Preparation courses.
Computer Science (36 or 37 SH: 8 @ 4 SH, 4 or 5 @ 1 SH)
Required Computer Science Courses (36 or 37 SH)
Freshmen and certain transfers will take CS 1200
during Fall semester.
Starting in Fall 2012, all students will take CS 1210
in the semester before going on co-op.
Prior to Fall 2012, transfers took CS 1220 instead
of CS 1210. Starting in Fall 2012, CS 1220 will not be offered.

The general electives must be consistent with the policy
on general electives articulated by the College of
Computer and Information Science on the college web site.
NU Core
1 of the general electives must be used to satisfy:
Level 1 Arts/Humanities Core
1 of the general electives must be a science chosen from the
Level 1 Science/Technology core. This course must not be a
technology course. If the science course chosen requires a
lab then that lab must be taken as well.
Comparative Cultures Requirement
The Comparative Cultures Requirement must be satisfied. If this is done
by taking a course then this course must be one of the general electives
that is taken in addition to the NU Core Level 1 electives.
