Prospective majors must complete CSC 117 no later than the fall term of their sophomore year and should complete MAT 200 by the end of the sophomore year. The CSC 117 class is open to non-programmers as well as to those with some programming experience. Students are encouraged to supplement this preparation with additional courses in mathematics (especially MAT 130 and MAT 240), physics, and logic. In particular, students who plan on graduate study in computer science need to select additional courses in mathematics and science.
