NOTES:

1. For graduation, a candidate for the BS degree in Computer Science must have earned a grade of C or better in each CPSC course applied to the non-elective requirements of the degree.
2. A grade of C or better must be earned in all prerequisite courses (including CPSC and MATH courses) before enrolling in the next CPSC course.
3. A transfer course may not be used to satisfy the General Education Global Challenges Requirement. While a transfer course may fulfill other degree requirements, students must enroll in a Clemson course(s) on the Global Challenges list to fulfill the Global Challenges Requirement.
