(Effective Fall 2007)
The computer science major must complete an approved technical elective program. Technical electives are courses (generally in computer science, mathematics, engineering, or business) oriented toward the design or use of computers. These must be approved by the student's advisor.
The following courses are recommended as technical electives. Other courses may be approved by an advisor. In general, an advisor will request to see a complete list of planned technical electives before making a decision on approval of a specific course. This allows the advisor to ensure that the advisee is following a coherent technical elective program.
NOTE: Courses on the following lists that are required for either the Software Engineering or Computer Systems Science degrees, or any of the concentration areas of the Computer Science degree, may NOT also be used to fulfill the technical elective requirements in that option or degree program.
