Sample Schedules
Overview
Below are two sample four-year course schedules for CS Majors: One with CS 60 taken in the Spring semester of freshman year, and one with CS 60 taken in the Fall semester of sophomore year. CS Major requirements are indicated in bold, and semester unit totals are listed in italics at the end of each semester. For more information, please refer to the CS Major page. See also latest possible semesters for each of the required courses.
These schedules apply to the Class of 2014 or later. For those in the Class of 2013 or earlier, consult the CS Major page, your advisor, or a CS professor for recommendations on class scheduling.
