Guidance For Undergraduate Non-Majors
 
There are many computer science courses without prerequisites that are open to all students across the university. For guidance on course selection, we offer the following tools:

 

  • Summary of Entry-Level Computer Science Courses: An overview of all computer science courses offered that have no prerequisites, including information on the academic focus of the course as well as the amount and type of work involved.

  • Advanced Placement: Students earning a 4 or 5 on the AB Computer Science AP exam are awarded 3 units of credit equivalent to CSE 126, and may continue their study of computer science in CSE131X, the accelerated version of the introductory course. However, all students with a strong computer science background, including those awarded AP credit, are invited to take the Computer Science Placement Exam during orientation week to determine proper placement.

     

  • More Guidance: If you have any questions, please stop by Bryan 509C or set up an appointment with Dr. Sally Goldman (sg@cse.wustl.edu; (314) 935-7545). Dr. Goldman can help you set up a course sequence to meet your individual needs. If you are considering a 2nd major, see this list of faculty contacts to consult with a CSE faculty member who is familiar with your primary field and can help you tailor an academic program to best combine computer science with your major area.
