Below are several sample course sequences that fulfill the CSB degree requirements. They are only samples and nothing here is intended to suggest any implicit requirements. It should be clear in particular that electives can easily be rearranged. All sample sequences assume a non-Physics science sequence; the first Physics course in the Physics sequence is 5 credits (4-credit course plus 1-credit lab).
None of these samples assume any AP credit. Generally, students with AP move courses in the sequence earlier to leave room for more electives in the junior and/or senior years.
Samples A and B are shown in two versions: Samples A1 and B1 assume MATH 021 in the fall of the freshman year. Samples A2 and B2 assume MATH 021 is replaced by the sequence of MATH 075 in the fall and MATH 076 in the spring with MATH 022 deferred until the sophomore year.
Students contemplating the Lehigh in Prague Program during the summer following their sophomore year should complete ACCT 151 and 152, CSB 311, and CSE 241 (or 341) by the end of sophomore year. (See Sample B1 and B2). It is necessary to request an override to be allowed to take ACCT 152 concurrent with CSB 311.
Students not planning to go to Prague, or who plan to go in the summer following their junior year should take CSB 311 in the spring of junior year.
Students contemplating graduate study in computer science or employment at major computing software firms (e.g. Microsoft, Google, Oracle, IBM) should choose MATH 231 instead of ECO 045 and CSE 341 instead of CSE 241 if possible. These students must take CSE 340 prior to senior year. CSE 326 (Machine Learning) is strongly recommended as an elective choice for these students.
Students seeking to transfer into CSB from Engineering, Business, or Arts and Sciences, should consult as soon as possible with the program co-directors. Note that to graduate in the normal 4 years it is necessary for CSB students to:
- Complete CSE 007 by spring of first year
- Complete CSE 017 by fall of second year
- Complete CSE 241 by spring of second year
- Complete CSE 216 by fall of third year
CSE 007 and CSE 017 are offered fall and spring. CSE 241 is guaranteed only for spring semester.
