Introduction to Computing

One of the following two courses:

COMP 163

COMP 264
Introduction to Computer Systems
COMP 271

Order

Comp 150 is the intended starting point. Clearly motivated students looking to jump-start their Computer Science courses may take Comp 150 and 170 at the same time. Comp 163, Comp 250, and Comp 317 all have no prerequisites, so they can be taken early, in parallel with Comp 150, 170, and 271. The vast majority of 300 level courses have Comp 271 as a prerequisite. Comp 264 must be taken sometime after Comp 170. You are encouraged to take Comp 264 early, too.
