The Computer Science Undergraduate Curriculum for both McCormick (BS CS) and Weinberg (BA CIS), has been redesigned and takes effect starting Fall Quarter 2007 (Catalog Year 2007). The new curriculum applies to students declaring either a CS (computer science) or a CIS (computing and information systems) major starting in Fall 2007 and thereafter.

Here is the new curriculum in five words: Background, Core, Breadth, Depth, and Project.

The new curriculum is documented in much more detail in the following materials:

Check out the Registrar's Undergraduate Catalog -- You will also be able to find a shortened form of the curriculum there, described in the McCormick (BS CS) and Weinberg (BA CIS) sections. Note: the Weinberg program is undergoing revisions at this date (January 2008); please check back for updates.

The new CS curriculum is detailed in the EECS Undergraduate Study Manual (link in the left column). Your Advisor has a printed copy of this publication, but the electronic version contains recent updates.
