As part of the CS major, students complete a set of core courses that provide a foundation in CS theory and systems. Students also choose a track (concentration area) to gain greater depth in a particular area of computing. The track can be chosen from among the following: Artificial Intelligence, Biocomputation, Computer Engineering, Graphics, Human-Computer Interaction, Information, Systems, Theory, or Unspecialized.
