Occidental College

SUGGESTED COURSE STUDY

3/2 COMBINED PLAN PROGRAM IN ENGINEERING
Computer Science Sequence

The courses in the computer science sequence prepare students to transfer to the California Institute of Technology or to the School of Engineering at Columbia University, New York City, for two years of work leading to the Bachelor of Science degree.  Caltech awards the B. S. degree in Engineering.  The Columbia B. S. degree is in a variety of engineering majors including Civil, Electrical, Mechanical or Nuclear Engineering; or a selection of majors in Applied Science, Operations Research, Materials Science, Management Engineering, and others.  The Occidental degree is in the Combined Plan Program.

*	These courses meet the Cultural Studies (CORE) and foreign language requirements.  If foreign language proficiency is met with fewer courses than indicated above, additional electives may be chosen from any department.

+	Students with some calculus preparation may take Experienced or Advanced Calculus (Math 114 or 118 (Fall term), and Math 124 (Spring term)) in lieu of Math 110 and 120. Another option is to take the Math 112-113 sequence. Please consult the Math. Dept.

{}	2-unit courses
#	At least one from CS 155 or CS 161 should be completed by the end of the sophomore year.

$	Students usually take CS 155 (or CS 161) and CS 211 in the same year. We recommend taking them in either the first or second year.

&	Students can take CS 311 after completing CS 211.

%	The Chemistry requirement is Chemistry 110 and 111.  It is possible for a student to become exempt from Chemistry 110 and 111 by an examination administered by the Chemistry Department.

Recommended electives in mathematics and computer science are the following courses:

Math 355 (Models of Computation)				Math 375 (Combinatorics)			Math 350 (Mathematical Logic)				
Math 321/322 (Algebra/Field  or Number Theory)	Math 440 (Numerical Analysis)	{Math 343} (Dynamical Systems)
