Second Major in Computer Science

Students earning a degree in another division can earn a second major in computer science by completing the requirements listed in the Washington University Bulletin. It is not necessary to complete other distribution requirements of the School of Engineering for the second major.

 

Second Major in Computer Science Admissions

The CS Minor needs to be nearly completed before one will be admitted to the Second Major in C.S. The Second Major should not be requested until after registering for or completing all courses required for a Minor in C.S. 

Second Major in Computer Science

Program Overview

The second major provides an opportunity to combine computer science with another degree program. A second major in computer science can expand a student's career options and enable interdisciplinary study in areas such as cognitive science, computational biology, chemistry, physics, philosophy and linguistics. The second major is also well suited for students planning careers in medicine, law, business, architecture and fine arts. Please visit the Washington University Bulletin to review the CS Second Major requirements and course offerings. For information on degree requirements from prior years, please refer to the Bulletin pages associated with those academic years (listed below).
