The foundation only applies to these majors; B.S. in Software Development, B.S. in Communication Networks and Security, B.S. in Computer Science, and also B.S. in Information Technology.

MATH 131

Introduction to Calculus I

COMP 150 (may be replaced by a 300 level classroom elective if COMP 215 is taken)

Introduction to Computing

One of the following two courses:

• COMP 170: Introduction to Object-Oriented Programming
• COMP 215: Object-Oriented Programming with Mathematics

COMP 163

Discrete Structures

COMP 250

Introduction to Scientific and Technical Communication

COMP 264

Introduction to Computer Systems

COMP 271

Data Structures: Algorithms and Applications

COMP 317

Social, Legal, and Ethical Issues in Computing

Practicum

Six (6) credits taken from one or more of COMP 390, COMP 391, and COMP 398

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.
