Planning Tips for Students Admitted Prior to Fall 2011
(1) Most course prerequisites on 3460:316 (Data Structures) have been replaced by 3460:210 (Computer Science II) which means you can take most computer science courses after finishing 3460:210 and other prerequisites. One exception is 3460:435 (Algorithms) which still requires 3460:316.
(2) You can stay in the old program or convert to the new program (in system track or management track).
(3) If you stay in the old program, please note that following courses will not be offered by the department in the future and you can take their replacements. You don’t have to take a replacement if you have already taken the original course.

(6) The names of many computer science courses have been changed. You don't have to retake them as long as you have taken the course with the same number.
(7) Many computer engineering courses have been renumbered, including COMPUTER SYSTEMS (from 4450:330 to 4450:320) and OPERATING SYSTEMS CONCEPTS (from 4450:375 to 4450:325).
