Humanities and Social Science Disribution
30 credits		Note: If a student is admitted to CWU with a DTA or DTA/MRP, all humanities and social sciences will be considered complete and there are no specific courses a student must take in order to meet the major requirements.

Note: If a student is admitted with an AS-T or AS-T/MRP, the student will be required to complete 3-4 additional social science, humanities or communication or English course. If a student completes English 102 as part of the AS-T or AS-T/MRP the student would require only 3 additional courses in the social sciences or humanities.

Notes:Must Pass Advanced Java Programming Test.Our introductory sequence is in Java. Other OO language sequences, such as C++ or C#, are also acceptable.

PLU courses are 4 semester credits.		Intro (CSCI 161, CSCI 261) sequence in require a weekly 2 hour lab. Both taught in Java. Other OOP languages, such as C++, are acceptable.

AP CS1 units accepted as replacement for CSCI 161 on scores of 3+.

Puget Sound is on semesters. Courses count as 1.0 unit.		The introductory programming language at SPU is C++. The CSC program has a C++ transition class (CSC 2330) for transfer students who took two quarters (or 1 semester) of programming in a different object-oriented language (e.g., two quarters of Java).C++ and Python are usedWe teach in C++ but it’s OK if the courses are taught in C++, Java, or similar OO language.

Students need to start in the fall in order to finish in two years (six quarters)		While CS1 & 2 courses use Java, transfer students do not need to have had Java for their CS1 and CS2 courses. Any language is permitted as long as the same language was used for both courses.
.		Python and C/C++ are used in the first year sequenceC/C++ & JavaC/C++* C & Java Lanuages* CS 301 (Discrete math, + Formal languages + functional programming[1]
