Criteria
Effective for all Catalogue years.
Science Elective Restrictions
- The material covered in the course cannot substantially repeat the material covered in the Computer Science and Engineering core courses (e.g., a computing for physics majors course from the Department of Physics and Astronomy would not be approved.)
- Courses should primarily focus on understanding or applying scientific principles (e.g., a writing course offered by the School of Biological Sciences whose main focus was on writing would not be approved.)
- Courses should be minimum of 4 units to count as a single course toward the degree requirement.
Pre-approved Science Electives
- Biological Sciences
- All Biological Sciences courses except those numbered 1-93, 142, and 189-199 are pre-approved science electives.
- Chemistry
- All Chemistry courses except those numbered 1P, 5, H90 and 190-199 are pre-approved science electives.
- Earth System Science
- All Earth System Science courses except those numbered 1, H90 and 190-199 are pre-approved science electives.
- Physics
- All Physics courses except those numbered 3A-B-C, 15-21, 50, 53, H90, 120, 125A-B, 129 and 190-199 are pre-approved science electives.
Students may petition for alternate courses, and individual and group study (198, 199) will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis with the submission of an Individual Study Proposal.
