All students must complete the General Education requirements as explained in the catalog. A Student who transfers with fewer than 48 semester hours must do this by completing the Lower Division Core Requirements.

For the 60 semester hours of upper division course work required for graduation, at least 48 hours must be in 3000-4000 level courses. Up to 12 hours of 1000-2000 level courses at FIU may be included in these 60 hours.

A Graphical flowchart of CS courses can be found here.

For a student who has not completed these prerequisites, the courses at FIU that satisfy them are:

COP 2210 Computer Programming I MAC 2311 Calculus I MAC 2312 Calculus II PHY 2048 Physics with Calculus I PHY 2048L General Physics Lab I PHY 2049 Physics with Calculus II PHY 2049L General Physics Lab II

A student who has not had trigonometry must take MAC 2147 Precalculus as a prerequisite for MAC 2311.

2. Two additional one-semester courses in science for science majors with strgon emphasis on quantitative methods. The following courses are currently approved as satisfying this part of the science requirement (along with equivalent courses from other Institutions, and more advanced courses). See an advisor for additional possibilities.

AST 2100 - Solar System Astronomy AST 2201 - Stellar Astronomy BOT 1010 - Introductory Botany BOT 1010 - Miami Dade Community College BSC 1010 - General Biology I BSC 1011 - General Biology II CHM 1045 - General Chemistry I CHM 1046 - General Chemistry II CHM 3120 - Introduction to Analytical Chemistry CHM 3400 - Fundamentals of Physical Chemistry EVR 4310 - Energy Resources EVR 4211 - Water Resources EVR 4231 - Air Resources GLY 1010 - Intro to Earth Sciences GLY 1100 - Historical Geology GLY 3202 - Earth Minerals GLY 3760 - Geologic Map Analysis

GLY 3754 - Remote Sensing in Earth Sciences GLY 4450 - Environmental and Exploration Geophysics GLY 4400 - Structural Geology OCB 2003 - Introductory Marine Biology OCE 3014 - Oceanography PCB 2061 - Introductory Genetics PCB 3043 - Ecology PCB 4733 - Human Systemic Physiology I PHY 3123 - Modern Physics I PHY 3124 - Modern Physics II PHY 3503 - Thermodynamics PHY 4323 - Intermediate Electromagnetism I PHY 4324 - Intermediate Electromagnetism II PHY 4221 - Intermediate Classical Mechanics I PHY 4222 - Intermediate Classical Mechanics II ZOO 1010 - Miami Dade Community College

No credit for graduation will be given to CS majors for the following courses:
COP 3175, CGS 2060, STA 1013, STA 2023, STA 2122, STA 3123, MAC 2233, QMB 3200 and ESI 3161 unless the student took the course before declaring a CS major.

One-credit Physical Education courses do not count for graduation.

If a student takes a course at FIU and has already received transfer credit for an equivalent course at another institution, then the credits for the repeated course at FIU are not applicable toward graduation.

At least 28 of the 46 upper division credits must be taken at F.I.U.

A grade of "C" or better must be obtained in all courses required for the major.

Note: A "C-" is not an acceptable grade.
