Exit Requirement - Students have three options to fulfill the Computer Science exit requirement:
1. Pass a Capstone Course (which can also fulfill an elective requirement, see  on back for courses)
2. Receive a score of 600 or above on the GRE Computer Science Subject Test
3. Submit a Senior Thesis

NOTES:
- Students may not receive credit for both AMS 131 and CMPE 107.
- Many graduate courses can also be used to satisfy electives; however students will need instructor and department approval.
- At most, only one elective may be substituted by an upper-division Math course.
* Course has pre-requisites that CS majors are not required to take in their regular course of study.
♦ Enrollment restricted to majors in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Bioengineering, Bioinformatics, Robotics Engineering, or Network and
Digital Technology, or by permission of instructor.
^ Can be repeated but only counts as an elective once
 Course Satisfies the CS Exit Requirement and an elective
