B.S. in Computer Science

The Bachelor of Science in Computer Science (BSCS) is the traditional computer science degree in the School of Engineering. If you are planning a career in computer science and want a degree with an engineering flavor, then a BSCS may be the right choice. The degree requires 120 units, including a set of eight core courses and six electives that provide a broad CS background.

Core: CSE 131, CSE 132, CSE 240, CSE 241, CSE 332S, CSE 436S, CSE 260M or CSE 361S, and CSE 422S or CSE 431S or CSE 425S
CS electives: Any six (6) additional CS courses with an S, T, M, or A suffix. These courses must include at least one from theory (T), at least one from systems (S), and at least one from either machines (M) or applications (A).
Mathematics: Math 131-132-233 or 141-142, Math 217, ESE 317, and ESE 326
Science: Physics 117A-118A and Chemistry 111A-151
Writing: EP 310 and the EComp requirement
Humanities and Social Sciences: 18 units total, with at least 6 units in the humanities and at least 6 in the social sciences
