Permitted substitutions and electives for the BSCS

Last Modified: November 19, 2012

The following substitutions are permitted for those students who took the courses as Computer Engineering majors. For information about which courses are permitted for other engineering majors, please consult the undergraduate computer science coordinator.

These permitted substitutions may change from semester to semester. Students may not count both a CS course and an equivalent course from another department toward the BS in CS.

No more than 6 units of CE 124, CE 125, CE 143, CE 146, and CE 155 may count toward the BSCS, and no more than 12 units of CMPE courses may count as electives. Note that there is a constraint on electives that may count toward the BSCS degree.

* Students who complete CS 46A and CS 46B may use CMPE 46 in place of CS 49C for the BSCS.
