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 IS/CS 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.
