CS Program requirements:

These are further divided into:

  • Core Courses
  • CS Elective Courses
  • Business Background Courses

While all courses are theoretically available during the period of study, there are three qualifying factors that may limit the number of courses in reality.

  • Students must meet the prerequisites requirements.
  • Course availability depends on the demand and the availability of actual resources.
  • With the exception of the core courses, program elective course selection should be guided by individual preferences and future career aspirations.
