General Prerequisites

All 2000-level computer science courses require the following general prerequisites:

• AK/AS/SC/COSC 1030 3.0 (or equivalent) with a grade of at least C+ (5.0);
• AK/AS/SC/MATH 1090 3.0 (or AK/MATH 2441 3.0 if completed before Fall 1998);
• All 3000-level computer science courses require the following general prerequisites:
• AK/AS/SC/COSC 2011 3.0;
• one of AK/AS/SC/COSC 2001 3.0 or AK/AS/SC/COSC 2021 3.0 or AK/AS/SC/COSC 2031 3.0;
• a cumulative grade point average of 4.5 or better on all completed computer science courses (including only the most recent grades in repeated courses); (Note: Normally a student who has received a passing grade (a grade of D or better) for a course may not repeat that course or take an equivalent or excluded course for degree credit. Please refer to the Policy on Passed Courses for further details.)
• AK/AS/SC/MATH 1300 3.0 and AK/AS/SC/MATH 1310 3.0;
• one of AK/AS/SC/MATH 2090 3.0 or AS/SC/MATH 1025 3.0 or AK/AS/SC/MATH 2320 3.0.

All 4000-level computer science courses require the following general prerequisites:

• at least 12 credits at the 3000-level in computer science courses;
• a cumulative grade point average of 4.5 or better on all completed computer science courses (including only the most recent grades in repeated courses); (Note: Normally a student who has received a passing grade (a grade of D or better) for a course may not repeat that course or take an equivalent or excluded course for degree credit. Please refer to the Policy on Passed Courses for further details.)
• AK/AS/SC/MATH 2090 3.0.
