See registration details in the links for each course. Students are encouraged to complete these credits during junior and senior years to draw on prior experience.

Note: A special case is COMP 390: Broadening Participation in STEM (Computing, Math & Science), COMP 391: Internship in Computer Science and COMP 398: Independent Study : Three additional units beyond the practicum can be counted as an elective, as long as you take no more than 6 units of 391 and no more than 6 units of 398.

MGMT 201 plus ACCT 201 may count in place of 3 credits of major Electives, only if ISSCM 349 is completed to also count toward this major.

General Notes

Credits never can be double-counted for different categories of the requirements for the major. But a course may satisfy a major requirement and also satisfy a University and/or College requirement (e.g., Core, residency, Engaged Learning, Writing Intensive).
It is usually not meant to combine a computing major or minor with another, the principal exception being CCFR-MINR; see more detail in the double-dipping rules.
