  • Elective breadth requirements
    • 1.0 unit of humanities from: CHINA, CLAS, CMW, CROAT, DAC, DUTCH, EASIA, ENGL, FINE, FR, GER, GRK, HIST, HUMSC, ITAL, ITALST, JAPAN, JS, KOREA, LAT, MEDVL, MUSIC, PHIL, PORT, REES, RS, RUSS, SI, SPAN, SPCOM, THPERF, VCULT
    • 1.0 unit of social sciences from: AFM, ANTH, APPLS, ARBUS, BET, BUS, COMM, ECON, ENBUS, GEOG, GSJ, HRM, INDEV, INDG, INTST, LS, MSCI, PACS, PSCI, PSYCH, REC, SDS, SMF, SOC, SOCWK, STV
    • 0.5 unit of pure sciences from: BIOL, CHEM, EARTH, PHYS, SCI
    • 0.5 unit pure and applied sciences from: pure sciences plus ENVS, ERS, HEALTH, KIN, MNS, PLAN
  • Elective depth requirements
    • 1.5 units with the same subject, including at least 0.5 unit at 300-level or higher, or
    • 1.5 units with the same subject forming a prerequisite chain of length three

Breadth and Depth Notes

1. Alternate course selections must be approved by a CS academic advisor.
2. No course can satisfy more than one of the breadth requirements.
3. Courses with substantial math or computer science content, regardless of subject, do not satisfy the elective breadth or depth requirement. Students may wish to consult with the CS advisors about specific courses.
4. Courses from the "List 1: First Course" for the Undergraduate Communication Requirement do not satisfy the humanities breadth requirement. Courses found only in the "List 2: Second Course" list can satisfy both the humanities breadth requirement and the Undergraduate Communication Requirement.
