New freshman students must take NSS 10000: New First-Year Seminar (0 cr.) in their first semester. C Passing Grade Requirement: Courses in shaded area require a minimum passing grade of "C". CUNY CPE, ACT, & SKAT Requirements: Students must pass the o CUNY/ACT in Reading and Writing and CUNY Mathematics Skills Assessment Test (SKAT) before completing 61 credits. Students must pass the CUNY Proficiency Examination (CPE) before graduation. General Education/Liberal Arts Requirements: Elligible courses that can be used to fulfill the general education requirement must be equivalent to or selected from only those courses listed as meeting the objectives of the following four clusters: i)Professional and Ethical Responsibilities Cluster (Outcome f), ii)Communication Cluster (Outcome g), iii)Global and Societal Context Cluster (Outcome h), and iv) Comtemporary Issues Cluster (Outcome j). Csc students must take five approved courses and Speech 11100 (Foundations of Speech Communication) for a total of 18 credits of which at least 6 credits must be at the 2000 level or higher. The six courses must satisfy at least three of the four approved general education clusters. *Science Requirement:Students are required to take at least 12 credits of science. These credits must include one of the following sequences: Bio 10100, 10200 (8 cr.) Chem 10301, 10401 (8 cr.) Phys 20700, 20800 (8 cr.) In addition, students need to take at least one more course in Biology, Chemistry, or Physics. An example will be taking Chem 10301, 10401, and Phys 20700 for a total of 12 cr. **Free Elective Requirement: CSc 31700: The Internet count only as a free elective. ***Technical Elective: Courses in Computer Science, Biology, Chemistry, EAS, Math, Physics, and Engineering, excluding: CSc 317: The Internet; courses at the 10000 level; courses with no prerequisites; "professional" courses; project & seminar courses; duplicate courses Speech Requirement: Students who are exempted from Spch 11100 must take another Speech or English course in its place. **** CSc Group Electives: At least ONE course must be taken from FOUR of the following FIVE groups (12 credits): Theory CS Elective (3 cr) Software Sys Elective (3 cr) Architecture Elective (3 cr) Computation Elective (3 cr) Net-Centric Elective (3 cr) CSc 42200: Computability CSc 33600: Database Systems CSc 41200: Computer Networks CSc 44000: Computation Methods CSc 31800: Internet Programming CSc 42800: Formal Languages & Automata CSc 42000: Compiler Construction CSc 43200: Parallel Processing CSc 44200: Systems Simulation CSc 47300: Web Site Design CSc 44800: Artificial Intelligence CSc 43000: Distributed Computing CSc 43800: Real-Time Systems CSc 44600: Math.
