Technical Electives

Technical electives are courses (generally in computer science, mathematics, engineering, or business) oriented toward the design or use of computers.

The following courses are recommended as technical electives. Other courses may be approved by the CS Advisor in consultation with the CS Undergraduate Curriculum Committee.

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.

Computer Science Courses

Any CS 3000, 4000 or 5000 level courses. Courses required for the degree or concentration cannot be used.

NOTE: Because of the more difficult nature of CS 5000 level classes, students should be seniors and have at least a 3.0 and preferably a 3.5 GPA in CS courses.
