7. CS Requirements

This section lists the courses required for a Computer Science bachelor's degree. It does not include university requirements (such as the university's liberal education requirements) or college requirements (such as CLA's second language requirement).

The degree requirements contained here apply to all CS B.S. students who began their education at the University of Minnesota during the Fall of 2010 or after, and all CS B.A. students who began during Spring 2012 or after. Students who began their education at the University of Minnesota prior to these respective semesters have their choice of following the requirements described here or the previous requirements which can be found in the Appendix. However, the old and new requirements cannot be mixed. It is recommended that students who enrolled at the University of Minnesota prior to Fall 2010 (for the B.S) or Spring 2012 (for the B.A) should contact the Undergraduate Advisor when deciding which requirements to use.
