Advanced Placement Credit
Students who have received a 4 or 5 on the CS AP exam may take CSCI0190 in place of both CSCI0150 and CSCI0160. Irrespective of AP scores, prospective concentrators may elect, after consultation with the course's instructor, to skip certain introductory courses in the curriculum and take approved advanced courses in their stead. This does not, however, reduce the number of courses students must complete for their concentration requirements. An advanced CS or related course that is (1) approved by the concentration advisor and (2) not being used to satisfy other requirements must be taken in place of a skipped introductory course.
For example, a student who, after discussion with the CSCI0150 instructor (currently Prof. van Dam), feels she or he has already mastered the CSCI0150 material, may skip this course and start her or his concentration with CSCI0310 then take CSCI0160 in the spring. Then at some point the student must take another CS or related course in place of CSCI0150. Any 1000-level CS course that is not being used to satisfy other CS concentration requirements would be fine for this. Thus, if the student chooses to take, say, CSCI1490 as this advanced course, he or she may not use CSCI1490 to satisfy any other CS concentration requirements.
