Application Sequences
The application sequence consists of four to five courses (at least 12 credit hours) in some field outside of computer science to which computing methodologies and practices can be applied in a significant way. The sequence of courses must be substantive, and it should provide a solid foundation in that field. Those students participating in a senior project or thesis should strongly consider utilizing their knowledge of this field in carrying out the project.
The following list includes all of the pre-approved
application sequences. Students may also devise their own
sequence which is subject to approval of the Director of
Undergraduate Programs (see student-designed sequence below).
Additionally, a College of Engineering minor or option, such as
the bioengineering option or the technology and management minor
(but not the computer science minor), may be counted as the
application sequence. A student in the five-year Engineering-LAS
degree program may count course work in the LAS major as the
application sequence. All applications sequences, including
pre-approved ones, must be declared so that they can be indicated
in the student's record (see instructions below). Important:
Some sequences require that you make certain choices in your CS
major requirements (e.g. Math 463 instead of Math 461 if you are
taking the Accountancy sequence). Other sequences require
prerequisites in addition to the courses on the list. Read each
sequence carefully and plan ahead! Please note that only six hours of credit that counts towards your
application sequence may also be counted toward your general education
requirements.
Declaring your sequence:
To declare your sequence (and have it appear on your DARS
report), send an email to Steve Herzog smherzog@cs.uiuc.edu
with the following information:
- Your name:
- UIN:
- Email address:
- Name of the application sequence (please indicate if this
is a custom sequence or modification of an approved one):
- List of the four or five courses you intend to use to
satisfy the sequence:
