Technical Electives, as approved by advisor (12 credits)

Direct Independent Study
A student must earn a minimum of 9 credits in computer science core courses before being eligible to register for Direct Independent Study. A student is allowed to take no more than the equivalent of one course (3 credits) of DIS. If student needs more than 3 credits of DIS, written approval must be obtained from the Chair of the Department prior to enrolling in the additional credits.

Cooperative Education
Students are encouraged to consider gaining practical experience through participation in Cooperative Education. Three one-semester periods of Cooperative Education (COT 3949) may be substituted for one computer science elective. For information contact the Department of Cooperative Education at 561-297-1003.
