Alternative complementary courses may be selected in consultation with the School of Computing.
C. ELEC courses are offered by Smith Engineering. Special permission may be required to register. All such courses will count as 3.00 units towards degree requirements in Arts and Sciences.
D.ÌýStudents should consider the following courses to complement their option courses. Data Analytics: Students interested in machine learning or artificial intelligence can take CISCÌý473.ÌýGame Development: Students with interests the arts can take COCAÌý201. Students with interests in analytics or machine learning can take °ä±õ³§°äÌý271. Students with interests in human-computer interaction can take CISCÌý325.
E. Students completing the internship (CSCI-I-BCH) will be required to complete 117.0 units towards their Bachelor of Computing degree and 9.0 units in COMP internship courses for a total of 126.0 units.
F. A maximum of 6.00 units from courses offered by other Faculties and Schools may be counted toward the program and/or Plan requirements. This includes courses in BMED, COMM, GLPH, HSCI, LAW, NURS, and courses offered by Smith Engineering.
