An introductory programming course (CIS*1300)
An intermediate programming course (CIS*2500)
An object-oriented programming course (CIS*2430)
A software systems development course (CIS*2750)
A course on data structures (CIS*2520)
A course on discrete structures (CIS*1910 or CIS*2910).
An introductory course on calculus (MATH*1200).
(B) Three core courses at the second-year or higher level selected from the following:
A course on hardware and/or assembly language (CIS*2030)
A course on digital systems (CIS*3120)
