One of

CO 330 Combinatorial Enumeration
CO 342 Introduction to Graph Theory

One of

CO 351 Network Flow Theory
CO 353 Computational Discrete Optimization
CO 367 Nonlinear Optimization
(If CO 255 is taken, this requirement can be satisfied by taking one of CO 450 to CO 471.)

Three additional courses chosen from

CO 330 Combinatorial Enumeration
