Computing Majors:
Courses Required
(view Acrobat pdf version)
PRE-NOTE:
Computer Science majors (and any student majoring in any department in the
College of Arts and Sciences) normally must complete at least 175 units to graduate.
- Courses in the College of Arts and Sciences are normally given 4 units credit if lower
division or 5 units if upper division. (Lower division courses with a separate lab are
given 5 units.)
- Typically students take four courses per quarter their first two years, and then
sometimes take only three courses per quarter their last two years.
Computer Engineering majors normally must complete 187 units to graduate.
- Courses in the School of Engineering, whether lower division or upper division, are
given 4 units credit unless accompanied by a separate lab.
- In almost every case, students take four courses per quarter for their first three years
and, during the senior year, take three courses per quarter and work on their senior
thesis.
Operations and Management Informations Systems majors (and any student majoring
in any department in the School of Business) normally must complete 175 units to graduate.
- Courses in the School of Business are normally given 4 units credit if lower divsion or
5 units if upper division.
- Typically students take four courses per quarter their first two years, and then
sometimes take only three courses per quarter their last two years.

DISCLAIMER: This list merely attempt to provide an overview comparing and
contrasting the requirements of the three majors. It is not meant to be an official
document prescribing all requirements. For details, one should consult the most recent
edition of the Bulletin.
Note that university regulations permit certain courses to satisfy more than one
requirement simultaneously. For example, PoliSci 1 or Sociology 33 may satisfy both Social
Science and United States requirements. More examples and details may be found in the most
recent edition of the Undergraduate Advising Handbook.
