Bold type indicates courses requiring a quality grade of C or better.
Italics indicate courses that satisfy both major and General Education requirements.
Bold Italics indicate courses requiring a quality grade of C or better and that satisfy both major and General Education requirements.
GWS, GHW, GQ, GN, GA, GH, and GS are codes used to identify General Education requirements.
US, IL are codes used to designate courses that satisfy University United States (US) and International (IL) Cultures requirements. These credits can be acquired concurrently with GA, GH, and/or GS courses.
W is the code used to designate courses that satisfy University Writing Across the Curriculum requirement.

Program Notes:

1. ASTRO 4xx: Choose from ASTRO 410, 414, 420W, 440, 451, 475W, 480, 485 and 497 courses (except ASTRO 401, 402W, 494H, or 496).

2. For the required writing-intensive coursework we recommend taking ASTRO xxxW courses (e.g., ASTRO 420W, ASTRO 475W).

3. Students taking the Computer Science option should follow one of the following sequences in their junior year:

(1) Software Emphasis: CMPSC 360 and 465 or

(2) Hardware Emphasis: CMPEN 271 and 331.

4. CMPSC 4xx courses:

For Software Emphasis, choose from CMPSC 431W, 442, 450, 458, 467, 468, 483W, CMPEN 454 or For Hardware Emphasis, choose from CMPEN 417, 431, 454, 471, 472.

5. See the Undergraduate Handbook and your advisor for recommended supporting courses.
