Notes
- Specialization groups (optional): Cybersecurity = CSC 371, 474, 478 + any major elective; Intelligent Systems / Data Science = CSC 290, 391, 392 + any major elective; Mobile and Web Development = CSC 301, 380, (CSC 404 or 405) + any major elective.
- Credits of CSC 105, MIS 118, 206, 306, 310, 342, 344, 345, 347, 448, 450 and MATH 100, 111, 113, 121, 130 do not count toward the CS degree.
- This file follows the Spring 2025-26 major sheet. The Fall 2025-26 sheet has a slightly different elective list (it includes CSC 490 and CSC 499 and lacks CSC 371, 390, 474, 478, 479).
- Students with advanced English placement can substitute ENGL 100/110 with any ENGL, foreign-language or MCM course.
- Prerequisites are copied from the GUST course descriptions. Only course and placement-test conditions are in 'prereq'; co-requisites (may be taken in the same semester) are in 'coreq'; standing, major and approval conditions appear only in 'prereqText'.
- PHYS 110's prerequisite text lists PHYS 110L without the word 'coreq'; because PHYS 110L itself is a co-requisite of PHYS 110 and the plan places both in the same semester, the lab is recorded as a co-requisite here.
