Combining with Other Areas
Options for combining Computer Science with other areas
Because of the program’s flexible requirements, students can easily pursue related (or often unrelated) interests, from music to psychology.
There are several ways to pursue outside interests.
Electives
Even if you are in an Honors program, about a quarter of your coursework is committed neither to your concentration nor to Core Curriculum requirements.
Joint Concentrations
This option is for students with a serious interest both in computer science and in an area that is foundational to the study of computing (e.g., mathematics or statistics) or where computing is being applied in significant ways.
Approximately 20 percent of concentrators choose this option.
The Mind, Brain, and Behavior (MBB) Program
Students interested in addressing questions of neuroscience and cognition from the perspective of computer science may pursue a special program of study affliated with the University-wide Mind, Brain, and Behavior Initiative that allows them to participate in a variety of related activities.
Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (EECS)
If you want to study hardware (e.g., chips, circuits, and memory) as well as software, consider pursuing Electrical Engineering and Computer Science as part of the Engineering Sciences concentration. This is distinct from, but parallel to, the Computer Science concentration.
