Sample Four Year Plan
We provide a three year plan completing all major and graduation requirements. With a 3 year plan:
- Study abroad is viable in any semester (if you plan ahead).
- Many double major programs are viable, depending on the double major.
- Dual degree programs are situationally viable, consult the program in question.
- Starting in your 2nd year is viable.

Dependency Graph
Dotted lines are soft pre-requisites.
- It is recommended to take DATA-351 for SQL experience prior to taking a software class.
- MATH 251W requires any 100 level computational or mathematical class, either CS 151 or MATH 150 is suitable.
- The applied mathematics courses have various requirements, usually MATH 150 or MATH 251.
- The "capstone" course CS 480 and CS 481 require any 5 CS courses (incl. DATA 351), but not necessarily the entire major.
