* - indicates that this is a required course for CS majors, and it is recommended to be taken during this semester
/ - indicates courses that are typically offered on alternate years
[ ] – indicates courses that are offered occasionally, as dept. coverage allows
--------------------------------------------------------------
This is only a suggested order for the classes to take. Students will deviate from this schedule, especially when it comes to items like the language proficiency, which computer science electives students prefer, etc. The advising sessions, during the seven pre-registration periods, will be helpful in deciding what courses individually suit each student the best.
