The table that follows is a suggested first- and second-year program plan.

Notes:

• Students are free to make changes to the sequence in which these courses are taken as long as course prerequisites are met. 
• Only specifically required courses are listed below. In order to graduate in 4 years, studying 2 semesters per year, students need to select electives to ensure they have an average of 15 units (5 courses) per semester.
• Students with questions are strongly encouraged to contact an advisor. 
• The schedule below represents a student beginning in Fall - some adjustments may be necessary based on course offerings in other semesters.
• Students are strongly recommended to take three co-op terms in their academic career to better define their area of interest in Computing Science. To find out more about cooperative work experience, please visit the Computing Science cooperative education website.

*If you have programming experience, the School will allow you to take a knowledge test. The test will determine whether you can bypass CMPT 120 and move directly into CMPT 125.  For more information and to take the test, visit here. 

A. MATH 151 requires a prerequisite high school Math 12 grade of at least “A.” MATH 150 requires a  prerequisite high school Math 12 grade of at least “B+.”

B. See WQB course information here.

C. CMPT 105W offered most Fall and Spring Terms.

E. Students who want a more rigorous approach to Linear Algebra are encouraged to take MATH 240.

During completion of the majority of your 100 and 200 level courses, review your options for 300 and 400 level courses. Research the six areas of concentration and read course descriptions in the calendar.

Artificial Intelligence is the study of the design of intelligent agents and systems, and spans areas such as machine learning, natural language processing, computer vision and robotics.
