Additional Information

No course numbered 200 or higher may be elected NRO and counted toward the requirements for the concentration.

Students must complete two 200-level courses before taking a 300-level course.

The thesis is not required. Moreover, CMPU 300 -CMPU 301  may not be substituted for 300-level elective courses satisfying the requirements for the major or correlate.
