• COS 211• Data Structuresopens 16 courses (3.5 directly)
• COS 277• Software Development Fundamentalsopens 9 courses (7.3 directly)
• MAT 248• Mathematics of Computer Scienceopens 5 courses (2.2 directly)
• COS 235• Computer Systemsopens 3 courses (3 directly)

The map

Intro tiers at the top, advanced work below; arrows point from a prerequisite to the course it unlocks. Courses from other departments appear where they gate COS work. Click any course to see what it requires and unlocks without leaving this page; hovering lights up its neighbors. The lists on this page carry the same courses in text form.

Concentration routes

The concentrations and majors that build on COS, and how their requirements are structured. Expand a program to see which courses satisfy each group, then plan it in the Planner.

Tracks

Upper-level clusters, grouped by the gateway that opens them.
