5.4. Things to remember

  1. Less popular CS classes are offered once every two years, so if you wish to take any of these as part of your upper division track you need to plan in advance.
  2. In general 3xxx classes are not allowed as part of the upper division track.
  3. Required CS classes (3081W/4081W, 4041, 4061) cannot be used as part of the upper division track.
  4. In general, at most 3 credits of independent study/directed reading/directed research etc. can be used as part of the upper division track. Students may be able to take more than 3 credits of special topics courses (5980 only with advisor approval); however, if a student includes more than 3 credits of 5980 courses, or includes both 5980 credits and independent student/directed reading/directed research etc. credits in their upper division track they should check with a Computer Science advisor to ensure they have enough "regular" CSci courses.
  5. You cannot use the same class as a math elective and as part of the upper division track.
  6. The following classes cannot be used as part of the upper division track: CSci 3921, INET 4031, INET 4707, INET 4081.
  7. CSci 4921 can be used as part of the CSE upper division track, but only as part of the "out-of-department" credits.
  8. Start early! During their junior year, students should meet with a Computer Science advisor to plan a mutually agreeable track based on the student's academic interests. Students who are interested in tracks that have a large number of prerequisite courses should start planning sooner.
  9. If you have any questions as to whether a course can be used as part of an upper division track, please contact the Computer Science Advisor.
  10. Out-of-department courses not listed in the track specifications above must be approved by the Computer Science Advisor in advance.
