the C.S. 26, C.S. 56, and C.S. 76 group. The first grade in any repeated course will notbe considered for the purpose of meeting departmental admission requirements.No student may enroll in any 1 00-level computer science course until the studenthas satisfied the first three requirements above.Degree RequirementsA student must earn at least a "C in every computer science course to becounted toward meeting degree requirements.Required courses for all computer science majors are: Math. 15 and 16, Statistics 201,Computer Science 15, 16, 26, 56, 76, 126, 136, 156, and 176. Students completeadditional degree requirements by satisfying the course requirements in one of thefollowing two tracks.Computer science software development: Intended to provide students withsubstantial experience in the design and implementation of large software systems.A. Two courses from C.S. 278, C.S. 286, or C.S. 288;B. One course from C.S. 256 or C.S. 266;C. One additional computer science course from among the 210, 220, 230, 240series or an approved technical elective.Computer science theory: Intended to prepare students for continued study atthe graduate level or direct entry into a professional position in the discipline.A. Both C.S. 215 and C.S. 216;B. One course from C.S. 236 or C.S. 246;C. One additional computer science course from among the 250, 260, 270, or 280series or an approved technical elective. An approved technical elective is anycomputer science course at the 200- or 300-level excluding C.S. 301, Stat. 221,Math. 241 , Cp. E. 272, 372, or 373, or I. E. 284.Requirements for a Minor in Computer ScienceAny student admitted to a degree program in the College of Arts and Sciencesmay take a minor in computer science by satisfying the following requirements:C.S. 15, 16, 26, 56, and 76; Math. 15 and 16 and Stat. 201 ; One course from amongC.S. 126, 136, 156, or 176.A student must earn at least a "C" in every computer science, mathematics, andstatistics course counted toward meeting the minor field requirements.FacultyProfessorsDonald F.
