Acceptability of Special and Experimental Courses
               toward the B.S. in Computer Science
               most recent update:  January 24, 2008

   This list is not guaranteed to contain all and only the special
and experimental courses that are applicable toward the BSCS.  In
particular, courses listed for future semesters may not actually be
offered.  All courses are 3 units except for 85A and 185A (1 unit)
and 85B and 185B (2 units).

   Courses listed with the number of a permanent course, including
196, may be used to substitute for that course.  If the course is a
85/185 course, it is exempt from the requirement that only 1 elective
may be replaced by 85/185.

   CS 166 was once known as CS 165, so CS 165 may be used to
substitute for CS 166.

   Courses marked with an asterisk qualify for the list of electives
from which 6 units may be taken (see the description of the BSCS
program in the university catalog). 

   Graduate courses may count as BSCS electives, but by department
policy is that they need advance approval from the CS coordinator.
This approval is not automatically granted.
