*Students must complete either CS 243 (Fall) or CS 224 (Spring).

In addition, students must complete the following required courses:

• Natural Science Distribution Electives (2 courses, at least one with lab; typically satisfied in 1st or 2nd year)
• HSS Distribution Electives (satisfy distribution categories: foreign language, fine arts, literature, humanities, social sciences; typically satisfied in 1st through 3rd years)
• General Requirements (non-European cultures and Race Relations & Ethnicity; some courses also fulfill HSS Distribution requirements; typically satisfied in 1st or 2nd years)
• Approved Minor (usually ~6 courses; some courses also fulfill HSS Distribution requirements; be careful not to start your minor too late, as there may be prerequisite dependencies in courses required for the minor; typically taken in 2nd through 4th years)
• Free Electives (to complete the 120 credit requirement; note restrictions on non A&S credits)

We recommend 14-17 credits per semester, in order to graduate in 8 semesters.
