The general electives must be consistent with the policy
on general electives articulated by the College of
Computer and Information Science on the college web site.
NU Core
1 of the general electives must be used to satisfy:
Level 1 Arts/Humanities Core
1 of the general electives must be a science chosen from the
Level 1 Science/Technology core. This course must not be a
technology course. If the science course chosen requires a
lab then that lab must be taken as well.
Comparative Cultures Requirement
The Comparative Cultures Requirement must be satisfied. If this is done
by taking a course then this course must be one of the general electives
that is taken in addition to the NU Core Level 1 electives.
